Tutte le aste / Etnografia / Dogon mask - Dogon - Mali
The Dogon people are renowned in African art for their myths and beliefs about cosmogony. Their population is estimated at about 300,000, living southwest of the Niger Loop in the Mopti region of Mali (Bandiagara, Koro, Banka), near Douentza and part of northern Burkina Faso (northwest of Ouahigouya). They produce more than 80 mask types, the best known of which are Kanaga, Sirigé, Satimbe, Walu. Most of them are used by the circumcised initiates of the Awa society during funeral ceremonies. Some depict animals, in reference to the rich mythology of Dogon art. The "nyama," the vital force of the mask, is activated by different rituals in order to develop all the magical potential of the object. On the occasion of a Dama ritual marking the end of mourning, the Dogon sculpt new masks. Provenance: Argiles Collection, Barcelona
