Or will be selling. In traditional African societies. A childless marriage is a grave problem that has serious repercussions on the relationships between wife, husband, and in-laws and on the village as a whole. Further, childlessness seems to be the wife's problem to resolve. According to Kate Ezra(1986) women with fertility and child-bearing problems in Bamana ... moresociety affiliate with Gwan, an association that is especially concerned with such problems. Women who avail themselves of its ministrations and who succeed in bearing children make extra sacrifices to Gwan, dedicate their children to it, and name them after the sculptures associated with the association. Gwan sculptures occur in groups and are normally enshrined. An ensemble includes a mother-and-child figure like this one. The father, and several other male and female figures. They are considered to be extremely beautiful, that is, things that can be looked at without limit" ibid. 2.2. because they achieve the Bamana standard for sculpture: they illustrate ideals of physical beauty and ideals of character and action. The figures are brought out of the shrine to appear in annual public ceremonies. At such times, the figures are washed and oiled and then dressed in loincloths, head ties, and beads, all of which are contributed by the women of the village. Sculptures depicting a seated female figure clasping an infant to her torso are called Gwandusu. The name implies such ideal attributes as"extraordinary strength.

Cotton cloth, pigment Approximate Age, mid 20th century, Dimensions, 22 inches H. x 12.5 inches x 4.5 inches On stand, Overall Condition, fair to good, Damage/Repair, legs missing. Chips, Additional Information: A Bamana dynamic couple of marionettes depicting riders wearing cotton cloth used as dance puppet. This is an interesting piece showing much handling and good age. It would stand well in any collection. Puppets are among the most delightful objects produced by the Bamana. And are popular and sought-after by collectors for their charm and color. The puppets are used in a morality play called"Sogo Bo. Bamana men frequently have more than one wife, and the Sogo Bo dance explores the complex ... moredynamics inherent in such households. Among the Bamana people of Mali, puppets appear in villages on stages, where they represent various typecast characters living in the village and that we have all experienced. The puppets known as Merenkun will satirize social and personal behavior of the braggart, the loose woman, the miser and the foreigner. The puppets often have arms or movable parts and will be covered in clothing and will be accompanied by songs that paraphrase the movements of the puppets as they make social comments upon the excessive behavior of their subjects. The genesis of the Bamana as a definable culture can be traced back to the 17th century. Though archeological evidence hints that they could be much older. They are of Mandinke origin and today are the largest culture in Mali. The zenith of Bamana culture occurred during the late 18th century during the reign of N'golo Diara, who conquered the Peul tribe and occupied the important cities of Timbuktu and Djenne. They remained powerful until conquered by the French in 1892. Recently, like many African cultures, they have been affected by Islamic settlers from the east. Though they still consider themselve

The elongated face has a long nose. ... morePierced eyes and open jaws. the mask is civered with a black dark patina. This mask belongs to the Kono association. The artistic diversity of the Bamana is without doubt one of the most astounding. And confounding, of all West African groups. It is interesting that perhaps their closest rivals in complexity are their neighbors to the north and east, the Dogon, with whom they share certain stylistic similarities. Complex religious, funerary, initiation, and agricultural rites have resulted in an enormous pantheon of ritual objects. When collectors think of Bamana, the image of a"chi wara" often leaps to mind. These stunning, zoomorphic headdresses, danced during the planting of crops, employ the carved head and horns of antelopes, as well as zig-zag, open-work designs, reportedly representing the path of the sun. A basketry, cap-like structure is attached to the bottom so that it can be worn. Other recognizable masks are not as well understood, and their use reflects the mind-boggling complexity of the predominantly animist Bamana religion. Among these are the animal-form masks such as this, often quite abstract, used in the"kono" and"kore" societi

The N'tomo society is one of six semi-secret societies in the culture of the Bambara ethnic group. It is associated with uncircumcised boys. And their initiation into Bambara society. Worn by village elders, the N'tomo masks generally have very small, narrow mouths, intended to encourage silence among the young initiates, as the primary role of the N'tomo is to instruct the young boys in the basics of Bambara society. It emphasizes ... morediscipline, an important virtue before graduating into the Koré and other societies. The masks generally display an ovoid and anthropomorphic face, with a broad row of horns across the top, with a figure occasionally extending from the mask's forehead. This N'tomo mask is a fine example. With a'forehead' embellishment of the Chi Wara, a mythological antelope-inspired creature for which the Bambara are known. It is a characteristic mask of the style, bearing a wide row of horns in front of which is the antelope effigy. The eye holes are prominent and circular, congruent with most masks produced by the Bambara, and its stylistic design, as with many in the genre, is intended to blend elements of mankind and other animal species together into one piece. This mask is finely detailed, and in quite good condition given its age. The piece does not appear to have undergone any notable breaks or repairs. The wood displays rub, scratch, and wear marks that indicate signs of age. This mask is light in weight despite and has a reasonably large superstructure. This is an interesting piece that will compliment any fine West African collection! Dimensions are 24&quo

During these ceremonies. Youths are taught masculine virtues through chanting and the symbolic use of animal masks. Many animals are represented, among them the antelope, hyena, lion and monkey, each with their own positive attributes. The diverse range of styles, from realistic to wildly abstract, have made Bamana kore masks extremely popular with collectors.The genesis of the Bamana as a definable culture can be traced back to the 17th century, though archaeological evidence hints that they could be much older. They are of Mandinke origin and today are the largest culture in Mali. The zenith of Bamana culture occured during the late 18th century during the reign of N'golo Diara, who conquered the Peul tribe and occupied the important cities of Timbuktu and Djenne. They remained powerful until conquered by the French in 1892. Recently, like many African cultures, they have been affected by Islamic settlers from the east. Though the Bamana still consider themselves animists, many villagers now practice a hybrid brand of both traditional and Islamic religions. This has allowed these competing cultures to coexist peacefully. Recommended Reading: Jean

Additional Information: A fiscinating figure depicting ... morea horse and rider. The facial features of the horseman reflect the style of the Bamana sculpture. The wear on the surface of this figure indicates some age. This figure will have a strong presence in a collection. Bamana and Dogon equestrian figures reflect the prestige and power surrounding an animal that has been associated with royalty since horses were introduced to West Africa more than a thousand years ago. Equestrian figures are most often identified as images of the HOGON. Since the horses are a luxury generally reserved for rich an powerful people. The horse is also known as a symbol of blacksmith who represents NOMMO, mythological beings. According to DOGON CLIFF DWELLERS, by Imperato(which I am selling on eBay) the horse was the first animal to leave the ark, in Dogon mythology, and symbolize chieftainship, power, and wealth. The artistic diversity of the Bamana is without doubt one of the most astounding. And confounding, of all West African groups. It is interesting that perhaps their closest rivals in complexity are their neighbors to the north and east, the Dogon, with whom they share certain stylistic similarities.

The facial features on this mask are similar to those found on wood sculptures from the Bamana. These masks are forged by blacksmiths working them into shapes that could be worn. Simply carried, or kept in a ritual location. Today there is no active tradition of these masks being used. In fact as little is known about forged iron masks among the Bamana or Dogon or Senufo or any of the Western Sudanic groups it would be conjecture to assert more than this at this time. This mask does indicate the skill of the blacksmith in forging a mask out of iron. A medium much more difficult to work than wood. 72619* All content.

Antique primitive African Bamana Mali? carving of man. Fertility idol?
I bought this figure at an estate sale along with a few others I have listed separately. The man I bought them from said his grandparents had acquired them while in Africa in the fifties. True or not I don't know. This figure is very old and I have tried to take ample pics to it's condition. It looks like it could be a fertility statue as it is anatomically correct for a male figure. There is a white substance on the base. It looks like paint but I was afraid to remove it. Please ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them. I am not am expert in this area. Thanks for looking and happy bidding. Please see my other auctions. All pieces listed came from same estate. Posted with

BAMANA CHIWARA HEADDRESS #2049~ For African Art Gallery
BAMANA CHIWARA HEADDRESS#2049 Tribe: Bamana. Country: Mali. Material: Wood.Metal. Size: 20.5" long(52 cm) x 12" 30.5 cm) Tall Item: 2049 Condition: Good. Provenance: James E. Adkins Estate Collection(Florida. USA) The term tyiwara or Chi wara(westernized form) denotes a cult. Divine power and a farming association at one and the same time. The cult reveals the presence of a healing power, supervising farming activities, which appears in the form os a pair of masked dancers. The festivities celebrate the manifestation in the world of men of the mythical animal which taught them how to farm. This animal does not correspond to any known species of nature' but rather is a compostite creature made up of the features of several species that include various antelopes, anteaters, pangolins, guinea fowl and cameleons. Tyi means"work" ... moreMore specifically agricultural labor. Wara means"wild animal" implying fierceness and the presence of claws. The expression tyiwara as a whole covers a number of meanings. It can be the name given to a power to which sons of praise and prayers are addressed, but it can also be a generic name for all agrarian cults supported by a youth association. An object well known to collectors of African Art. Is an elegant wooden crest carved with animal features and normally attached to a textile or rattan headdress. The dancer often wears a black raffia cape that covers him from head to foot, and a red textile cagoule decorated with cowrie shellsis sometimes used to extend the headdress. Two young officiants have the job of sprinkling water over the fibres, suggesting in a highly effective manner the driving rain. Check out my! by adding my eBay Store to your Favorites Check out my!

Chipped ears, chips in other places, Bamana Face Mask Pointed Nose and Cheeks African. Additional Information: A impressive face mask strongly carved with pointed forehead. ... moreLong nose, protruding lips, pointed checks and heavy-lidded half closed eyes under a bulging forehead. All these characters recall a Bamana type of masks mainly found in Segou-Sara region. this style is very close to that of the Marka people. But Marka distinguish themselves from the Bamana with the use of metal sheets as decorative elements. Among the Bamana such masks belong to the category of Kore Mask. Kore mask is worn by adult Bamana males during the initiation of young men into adult status. All Bamana males advance through various levels of initiation and secret knowledge. And the Kore mask appears for only the most senior of men representing their personal struggle to achieve knowledge and wisdom. Kore masks fall into a number of well-known forms especially the hyena and the monkey. As is the case in most Bamana sculpture, there are local variations resulting in forms not as well known and that could well be demonstrated in this mask.

A beautiful. Vintage(30-60 year old) danced and used Bamana Chiwara(of which numerous spellings including Chi Wara and Tji Wara) headdresses appear in pairs for planting and harvest festivals. Carved of wood, they are worn tied to a basket on the head and thus are actually a headdress and not a mask. The body is hidden by a raffia or hemp fiber costume. The chiwara is the mythical hero who came from the skies to teach the people to farm. Tji is a word that means work and‘wara” is animal, thus a Tji Wara is an animal of labor or work. Most chiwara headdresses are part roan antelope and part man. Many chiwara have elements of other animals. The chiwara is one of the'societies" of the Bamana. The chiwara dance was originally a"religious" ceremony. Now, for many of the Bamana it is for a plentiful harvest. Comes with custom ... moremade black painted metal stand.

African tribal currency Bamana iron lamp, outdoors, decor, ethnographic art,Mali
This is a multi-armed lamp with cups to hold oil at the end of the arms. Oil known as tulu. Made from the Karite tree nut was burned in the cups to produce a dark, smoky light that was as much a light for ritual purposes as for illumination. Lamps such as this would serve in the house but also would provide light, real and ritual, for masks when they danced at night. The small forged bird at the top is praising God with either a Muslem position of prayer or a traditionalist animist's gesture of prayer. The arms of the lamp repeat this gesture. Small spoons hanging by chains were used to adjust the wick, made of twisted cotton burning in the Karite oil. This lamp with it's standardized forms is an example of the change of style in Bamana lamps as other forms of iron material became available and in this instance the arms and support ... moreof the lamp is riveted together rather than fully forged. Yet it must be noted that the figure has been forged and hammered to an abstract figure in the profile. It measures 32" in length and 15" in width. It is thought to come from the late 19th or early 20th century.

Mali: Extremly Rare and Old Tribal used Large African Bamana mask.

Height: 52 cm. ed African mask from Igbo. Nigeria. Hand carved from a single piece of wood. With color pigments. Height: 64 cm. Living mainly in the forested areas of south-west Nigeria. On both sides of the Niger River the Igbo number some ten million individuals. Mainly farmers and merchants, they also hunt and fish. They are subdivided into thirty-three subgroups and are spread out among about two hundred villages scattered through the thick forest or semifertile marshland. Only on the northern and western edges of the area, under influence from Igala and Benin, are hereditary rulers found. The heads of families form the council of elders, which shares its power with numerous ... moresecret societies. These societies exercise great political and social influence. They are highly hierarchical, their members passing from one level to the next. There is strong social pressure toward individual distinction, and men can move upward through successive grades by demonstrating their achievements and their generosity. The lack of overall centralization among the Igbo-speaking peoples has been conducive to the development of a great variety of art styles and cultural practices. The earliest sculpture known from Igboland is from the village of Ibo Ukwu. Where the grave of a man of distinction and a ritual store, dating from the 9th century AD, contained both chased copper objects and elaborate castings of leaded bronze. Ibo sculpture is subject to rather strict rules: the figures are generally frontal, symmetrical, and upright, with legs slightly spread, arms held away from the body, and hands stretched forward, palms open.

African tribal currency Bamana iron oil lamp or candle holder ethnographic art
This is a multi-armed lamp with a cup to hold oil at the front. Oil known as tulu. Made from the Karite tree nut was burned in the cups to produce a dark, smoky light that was as much a light for ritual purposes as for illumination. Lamps such as this would serve in the house but also would provide light, real and ritual, for masks when they danced at night. The small forged bird at the top is praising God with either a Muslem position of prayer or a traditionalist animist's gesture of prayer. The arms of the lamp repeat this gesture. Small spoons hanging by chains were used to adjust the wick, made of twisted cotton burning in the Karite oil. This lamp with it's standardized forms is an example of the change of style in Bamana lamps as other forms of iron material became available and in this instance the arms and support of the ... morelamp is riveted together rather than fully forged. Yet it must be noted that the figure has been forged and hammered to an abstract figure in the profile. It measures 12" in height and 5" in width.

OLD BAMANA PEOPLE WOOD STATUE WITH AMAZING DESIGN DETAILS FROM MALI
You are bidding on a Beautiful BAMANA PEOPLE Carved wood statue from Mali. The artistic tradition of the Bamana is rich. Filled with pottery, sculptures, beautiful bokolanfini cloth, and wrought iron figures fashioned by blacksmiths. They also have extensive masking traditions, which are used as a form of social control and community education. The Bamana are members of the Mande culture. A large and powerful group of peoples in western Africa. Kaarta and Segou are Bamana city-states, which were established in the 17th century and continued to have political influence throughout the western Sudan states into the 19th century. At this time religious wars broke out throughout the region, setting Islamized societies against those who preferred to embrace traditional Bamana views. A dichotomy between traditional and Islamic views still exists ... moretoday in Mali, and one may expect to encounter representations of both cultures existing side by side and quite often in syncretic combinations. The religion of the Bamana is directly related to the initiation societies(dyow) As an initiate moves through the six societies. He or she is taught vital issues concerning societal concepts of the moral conduct of life, which contribute to the overall well-being of the individual and the community. Through the six levels of education the initiate learns the importance of knowledge and secrecy, is taught to challenge sorcery, and learns about the dual nature of mankind, the necessity for hard labor in the production of crops, and the realities of surviving from day to day. The final dyow, the kore, is devised to allow a man to regain that portion of his spirit that has been lost to the god through the process of reincarnation.

Also called Bamana, form the largest ethnic group within Mali and occupy the central part of the country, in an area of savannah. They live principally from agriculture, with some subsidiary cattle rearing in the northern part of their territory. The Bambara people are predominantly animists, although recently the Muslim faith has been spreading among them. The Bambara kingdom was founded in the 17th century and reached its pinnacle between 176o, and 1787 during the reign of N'golo Diarra. N'golo Diarra is credited with conquering the Peul people and in turn claimed the cities of Dienne and Timbuktu. However, during the 19th century, the kingdom began to decline and ultimately fell to the French when they arrived in 1892. For the most part, Bambara society is structured around six male societies, known as the Dyow(sing. Dyo) The stylistic variations in Bambara art are extreme sculptures, masks and headdresses display either stylized or realistic features, and either weathered or encrusted patinas. Until quite recently, the function of Bambara pieces was shrouded in mystery, but in the last twenty years field s
