This beautiful mask is made in the typical Mali Dogon fashion, with typical Dogon's style. The Dogon people migrated to the Bandiagara escarpment region in West Mali, South of the Niger bend, around the 14th century, and they live today in the central plateau region of Mali, near the city of Bandiagara and in Burkina Faso. The population numbers between 400,000 and 800,000. The Dogon are best known for their religious traditions, their mask dances, wooden sculpture and their architecture.


All pieces I sell on e-bay are from my own personal primitive art collection formed by my father from the late '50s to the 1982. He was a pharmaceutical engineer and expert in mold and fermentation, he has been traveling for work reasons incessantly since the end of the 50's, attending particularly northern European cities such as Paris, Zurich, Brussels and Gent.

The mask is of high quality, beautiful made with plenty of details and a very good patina.

Good general conditions, but with signs of use and some cracks. Please study the photos well.
