Finely decorated masks such as this rarely come on the market and would be of good addition to any collection.
The Dogon are renowned for their masquerades and the use of large, superbly sculpted and brightly painted masks and colorful costumes. These animal masks are all representations of the totem animals for specific clans. In a clan village, the killing of an animal identified with the clan is the same as killing a person. Mali is a land of masks, with figures scarce across all groups. less
