A Dogon Ostrich Mask
Mali, wood, ochres, 72 cm high. Dogon masks are mostly worn during the 'Dama', a collective funerary rite. The ritual's goal is to ensure the safe passage of the spirits of the deceased to the world of the ancestors. As part of the public rites related to death and remembrance, the members of the 'Awa society' are responsible for the creation and performance of the masks. Shaped with a stylised face, a rectangular box with hollowed channels for the eyes, these masks show the great architectural quality of the Dogon masks.
Provenance:
Pierre Dartevelle Collection.
