Mask – Wood – Dogon – Mali

Remarkable old Dogon mask from Mali. Heavy piece, 4100 gram.

The Dogon carve over eighty kinds of mask some of which, especially the Satimbe, Katanga and Sirige, are considered to have potent magical powers. Others, representing hunters or animals, are used in dances of a more celebratory or social nature. Contains clear traces of wear and tear.
