Tutte le aste / Etnografia / Fish - bozo - Bozo - Mali (No reserve price)


On the banks of the Niger, near the Dogon in Mali, the Bozo are established, as the oldest inhabitants of this region. An ethnic group essentially made up of fishermen, they venerate the god Faro, a water spirit. The invention of the puppet in Mali is attributed to the bush geniuses who abducted Toboji Centa, a Bozo fisherman. During his stay with the geniuses, the man becomes familiar with this unknown art. Returning home, he goes to the smith-sculptors and teaches them how to shape puppets of two kinds: animals and human beings, either miniatured or enlarged. This puppet fish, with vivid polychromy, has articulated fins.
