EXHIBITED large 25" Senufo helmet mask "Kopnyungo" Fire-spitter, no reserve
This is a large p olka dotte Senufo helmet mask"Kopnyungo" kno w in the West as a Fire-spitter. Very impressive array of tee th and tusks in nice contrast to two cute chameleons on top. In 2009 portions of my collection were exhibited at the University of Maryland's Mosely Gallery- the exhibition was called"Honoring the Ancestors. Only 170 of my 300+ items could fit in the gallery. This mask was exhibited in that exhibition. I have included photos of that installation as well as other items I am selling or will be selling soon. Janiform(meaning 2-faced) example would have been worn at Poro ceremonies including funerals and would also have fought sorcery( dee bele) and harmful spirits( nikw’abele) At the top of this helmet is a small cup held by two chameleons. The mask was not complete until magical substances( wah) were ... moreplaced into this receptacle. Additional Information: A superb piece. With matched four-horned faces on either side, one shared pair of ears, and paired figures on top pulling on the bowl which would have held magical elements. Red and white pigments have been applied over the black, but use has worn them away somewhat. Inner patina suggests wear. This large helmet mask known as"Kopnyungo. meaning literally a funeral head mask is worn by senior members of Poro at funerals of deceased and honored members. Large composite masks danced by the Senufo symbolically incorporate a number of different animal motifs to create an image that is aggressive and powerful. The crocodile mouth at the front of this mask incorporates warthog tusks coming out of the upper jaw represent the uncontrolled forces of the bush. This mask is most probably used by Senufo farmers and when worn the dancer would look out through the opening of the mouth. This is an excellent example of Senufo masks. Size: Height: 14.5" width: 25.5" depth: 9" 6 lbs Provenance- some of my items have solid provenance. Others like this do not. I will never make a claim a specific age or tribal usage unless I h

Exhibited Senufo Kpelie Mask Kepelie Kpeli-yehe Ivory Coast and Mali- no reserve
A beautifully symmetric Senufo Kpelie mask. The depiction of palm nuts at the top of the mask symbolize the wood carving profession. I purchased this three years ago from a private French collector. They described it as 19th century but I believe it is from the second half 20th century. I could be wrong. In 2009 portions of my collection were exhibited at the University of Maryland's Mosely Gallery- the exhibition was called"Honoring the Ancestors. Only 170 of my 300+ items could fit in the gallery. This mask was exhibited in that exhibition. You can see it hanging on the wall. I have included photos of that installation as well as other items I am selling or will be selling soon. This Kpeli-yehe mask combines elements of Senufo mythology and culturally known symbols. The horns are those of the powerful buffalo important to Poro ... moreinitiates. The small legs below the chin symbolize the hornbill bird. One of the Senufo primordial creatures and the first to be hunted by men. The heart-shaped face and protruding lips are style elements of Senufo sculpture. Kepelie masks would dance a funeral of elder women and men, the newly dead that have now joined the ancestors.The Senufo are a large dispersed population living primarily in Ivory Coast and Mali in small self-administered villages supporting themselves primarily as farmers. Though generally autonomous the villages are joined through a shared menâ's secret society known as Poro or Pondo that is responsible for the initiation of young boys and men into different levels of society and to exercise social control and instruct members and initiates in religious wisdom and knowledge of the bush spirits. Women have their counterpart to this ion their divination society known as Sando. Among the Senufo people funerary ceremonies serve as a primary occasion for the appearance art during ritual displays. It is during the funerals of senior members of the Poro society and woman's society that dances to celebrate the life of the deceased. Size: Height: 13&qu

A nice Senufo Kpelie mask with nice encrustation and wear. Great color. The hornbill depi cted o n the top of the mask is one of the first creatures on earth in Senufo mythology- is an important symbol for the Senufo and appears on many of their carvings. I purchased this from a British man who s aid his grandfather worked the dock in London in the 1920s and would by items from sailors returning from Africa. He said this was one such item. I have no idea i f that is true. Although it was always owned and worn by a man. Kpelie represented the concept of feminine beauty and fertility. The unique features which characterize the Kpelie mask include elongated flanges radiating from the bottom part of the mask, which are a reference to the hornbill bird. The horns on the mask refer to the ram. An important sacrificial animal. The nodules on the ... moreforehead represent palm nuts as well as vulvas; they are flanked by cicatrization marks that symbolize the twins born to the primordial couple. The Kpelie mask was used at initiation in the societies for boys. Adolescents, and adults, at funeral rituals designed to lead the spirit into the land of the dead, and at harvest festivals to thank the ancestors for a good crop. Kpelie- whether in carved wood or cast bronze copper alloy- are usually oval in shape with arched crescent shaped eyebrows over narrow slit eyes. The small mouth opens below a slender nose. Scarification marks add to presentation of what is considered beautiful to the Senufo. On either side of the temples are semicircular and rectangular shapes that represent the stylized coiffure worn by Senufo mothers; the center shapes at the side representing ears. Animal horns- bull. Ram or antelope- represent male attributes of the masquerade. There are often two appendages on either side of the chin, legs" that connect the spirit to the earth. Most important are the figures on the head, which represent an ancestor closely connected with the society's origin. The figures worn depend on the caste group to which the

A large ethnic group extending across Cote d'Ivoire. Burkina Faso, Mali, and Ghana, the Senufo are revered among African art collectors, if only for a single mask known as the Kponyungo or Firespitter mask.

This society is responsible ... morefor maintaining the religious, artistic, and historical traditions of a lineage, and it is for this society that the majority of Senufo art is created. Traditionally danced by men. While playing the character of a woman, the Senufo kpelie mask is a well known artform among the Senufo, characterized by its various perimeter projections, and humanoid features. Their various projections and strange appearance are said to represent the inherent imperfection in humans and humanity. The adornment on the crown area generally features an animal carving, and though the meaning of all of these has been lost, they are generally said to indicate a particular societal caste, with birds such as these said to indicate the smith's caste. The mask is in good condition, still bearing strong pigmentation, though small chips and breaks have occurred on a few of the various projections. A mane of raffia fiber surrounds the mask, and its perimeter is decorated with cowrie shells, widely recognized in west African cultures as a sign of prosperity. This is a truly beautiful piece, and it displays exceptionally well. Dimensions are 16" x 7.5" x 3" And it weighs in at just over

The Songye migrated from the Shaba area, which is now the southern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Their history is closely linked to the Luba's, to whom the Songye are related through common ancestors. Having waged war against one another for a long time, the Songye and Luba later formed an alliance to fight the Arabs. They settled on the left bank of the Lualaba River, on a savanna and forest-covered plateau. Divided into many subgroups, the 150,000 Songye people are governed by a central chief assisted by innumerable secret societies. The Songye traditionally relied mostly on farming and hunting for subsistence. Because the rivers were associated with the spirits of deceased chiefs who ... morewere often buried in them. Fishing was not practiced except in times of great need. The artistic wares of the Songye, including pottery made by women and weaving and metalworking done by men, were traded extensively with their neighbors.

Senufo Kpelie Tribal Mask African Côte d'Ivoire Poro Cowrie Shells & Raffia
Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Senufo Kpelie Tribal Mask African Côte d'Ivoire Poro Cowrie Shells& Raffia Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Up for bid is an amazing and wonderfully crafted Senufo kpelie mask. Traditionally danced by men. While playing the character of a woman, the Senufo kpelie mask is a well known art form among the Senufo tribe, characterized by its various perimeter projections, and humanoid features. Their various projections and strange appearance are said to represent the inherent imperfection in humans and humanity. Although this ethnic group spans across a number of African countries, I believe this piece is from the Côte d'Ivoire(aka Ivory Coast) The mask measures approximately 13” long(sans raffia) x 6 1/4" wide. One of the projections has a minor chip on it and another ... morehas a minor crack. Having said this though, the mask is in great condition with a large amount of pigmentation still present. A mane of raffia fiber surrounds the mask, and its perimeter is decorated with cowrie shells, widely recognized in West African cultures as a sign of prosperity. I will start the bidding off at $35.00. Please see the shipping calculator for shipping and handling costs to your location. 14 day return policy if not satisfied(buyer pays for shipping) PayPal buyers only please. If you have any questions please contact me through eBay. Thanks for visiting and happy bidding!

African Tribal Antique Extremely Rare Double Face Senufo Mask
This is a rare antique. Museum quality authentic Senufo Mask from the old private collection of the internationally celebrated artist and ardent Africanist. The item is about 12" In excellent antique condition. Senufo masks are created by specialist artists who live apart from the rest of their village. Senufo masks combine features of animals and humans in a single design. The Senufo artists have a high status in their society as their masks and sculptures are believed to have the power to help communication between the living and their dead ancestors. Senufo masks are used in the rites of the Poro society. A male organization that educates young men in the traditions and responsibilities necessary for their coming of age. The Senufo worship their ancestors. Particularly Kolotyolo- the‘Ancient Mother’ who is holds so much power that ... moreshe has to be carefully approached through intervention by lesser gods. African masks can be designed to cover the head. Cover just the face, or be used as a headdress that is attached to the top of the head. Not all masks are life-size. They can be gigantic or very small. The large and life-size masks are used in public performances and private rituals. The small masks are used as charms or amulets to cure illness and to offer protection during work or travel. Sometimes small masks are made as miniature copies of larger masks. The features on a mask can be human. Animal, or a combination of the two. The expressions range from terrifying to serene. 1. Face masks- Possibly the most common type. Occur almost everywhere in Africa where masks are used. 2. Helmet masks- Carved out of a section of tree trunk and hollowed to fit over the wearer's entire head. In some regions- as with the Mende in Sierra Leone and the Suku in the Democratic Rep 3. Helmet crests- This type differs from the helmet mask in that it does not cover the wearer's entire head. But is worn like a cap, leaving the face free. Helmet crests are a type commonly used by the Kwifon association in the Grasslands

Authentic African Senufo "Wanyugo" Fire Spitter Helmet Mask
Authentic African Senufo" Wanyugo" Fire Spitter Helmet Mask African Senufo Wanyugo Fire Spitter A stunning authentic C20 mid Senufo Fire Spitter Collected from a Senufo Chief from a village South East of Korhogo many years ago now. And it has been in our own private collection since. This piece is well over 60 years old. The threatening appearance of this rare double-headed mask. Combining various features of animals, relates to its purpose. Fierce, sharp fangs and a variety of smaller tusks and horns are meant to frighten away evil, for this mask battled the forces of malevolent spirits that haunt the world of the living. The long snouts further recalls the mouth of an alligator or hyena. The mask derives its power from magical and medicinal substances that would have been placed inside the small dish on top of the mask. However, ... morethe power of this mask could not be fully effective until it was worn and danced. The identity of the masquerader would have been further concealed by a cloth costume attached to the base of the helmet mask. Such masks are sometimes known as“firespitters” after the belief that hot coals were contained inside the mouth and spewed forth by the dancer, a frightening effect that underscores the forceful nature of such masks. Due to the dangerous powers such masks embody, they are often kept away from the village in sacred groves or isolated shelters in the bush relating to the Poro society. The Poro society, a secret group of males in charge with initiating young men into the ways of life and governance, uses a variety of mask, of which this is but one. This mask would have elegantly conveyed the forces of evil that are inherent within the universe. Furthermore, this mask would have given the young initiates into the Poro society a weapon with which they could battle evil and restore peace and clam to the village.

20th AFRICA Ivory Coast SENUFO FIRESPITTER hyena MASK hopsack JUMPSUIT 22" DOLL
Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 20 th century African Masquerade Doll is carved out of wood with a hand sewn hopsack jumpsuit with hyena spots and a two-headed hyena mask(Sarasota expert said it was a hyena) with feathers. The jumpsuit is the same on the verso. Some of the original stitching has come undone and someone used a raffia-like thread to repair it. On the back of the jumpsuit there seems to have been 1 ½ inch round hole that was patched with exact same original material. The piece is 22 inches high(with the mask on) by 7 inches across the front of the chest and arms and the removable mask is 7 ½ inches long and 4 inches tall. The only repair is on the mask around the neck and I acquired it that way—it is the only defect I know of besides paint loss on the mask and minor dings to the wood. The four ... moresets of original feathers on the two snouts are mudded in but the four long blue feathers are from the Blue Jays in my yard and I placed in the holes provided that contained the original feathers which fell out during a move. When I acquired the piece in 1994 the invoice and hand tag combined said Wombala. Senufo(Zenoufou) NIC(North Ivory Coast) Korhogo, Ivory Coast. Ten years later I took it in to a local African Art Gallery(not African Tourist Art) managed by an African Art expert in Sarasota, Florida to ascertain its authenticity and he told me it was the real deal not African Tourist Art. The following are a few notes I copied from a book after I purchased the piece. The Fire Spitter represents the creation myth. A tradition in the community to frighten the local population in the Ivory Coast of Africa to obey the laws of the Poro secret society. I am not an authority on African art and purchased this piece because I loved it. Stand not included-only used for photography purposes. He leans against a wall on a shelf at my house.

Large Senufo Harvest Bird Mask, DRC
The Senufo produce a rich variety of sculptures. Mainly associated with the poro society. The sculptors and metalsmiths. Endogamous groups responsible for making the cult objects live on their own in a separate part of the village. The attitude shown toward them by other Senufo is a mixture of fear and respect, owing to their privileged relationship with the natural forces that they are capable of channeling in a sculpture. During initiations, headpieces are worn that have a flat, vertical, round or rectangular board on top decorated with paint or pierced work. Many wood carvings of male figures depict these headpieces, sometimes on rhythm pounders used by young initiates, who beat the earth to call upon the ancestors to take part in the ceremony and purify the earth. The carvers also produce ritual female statues. Including mother-and-child ... morefigures, as well as statuettes depicting bush spirits and supernatural beings and equestrian figures. Large statues representing hornbills(often seen also on masks) and used in the lo society as symbols of fertility are the standing birds called porpianong. Figures of the hornbill are used in initiation. And groups of birds on a pole are trophies for the best farmer. Figures of male and female twins and of horsemen are used in divination. These represent the spirit familiars enabling the divination process. The diviners themselves are women, forming the sandogo society. Shrine doors and drums are carved in relief. And small figures and ritual rings are cast in bronze. This auction is for an outstanding Senufo Harvest mask. Measurements: 26" X 10 1/2"

Worn areas, chips and scrapes, overall condition good. Thank you and please view my other items. ... moreBACKGROUND A central concept in Senufo religion is a female ancestral spirit called ancient mother. The sacred guiding spirit of each poro society. The Senufo produce a rich variety of sculptures, mainly associated with the poro society, to which all adult men belong and which maintains the continuity of religious and historical traditions, especially through the cult of the ancestors. Several types of mask are used depending upon the occasion. The kpelie, a human face with projections all around, is said to remind initiates of human imperfection. Danced by men, these masks perform as female characters. Painter Fred Uhlman words- Most of the artists I admired. Picasso, Modigliani, Deraini, to mention only a few, had collected African art and had been profoundly influenced by it. Shortly afterwards I bought the Baule Fetish and the Baule bobbin which are still two of the finest pieces in my collection. It is easy to see why I bought them and why from that moment I have never stopped collecting. The head of the bobbin or heddle- pulley which is after all only a functional object for the purpose of weaving seemed to me then and today as beautiful as a Greek goddess. The fetis

Such headdresses were worn by healers during their rituals or Also. This crest recalls headpieces known as Kwanro or Dagu used by Senufo men during the Poro society activities and in funerals for senior members and also to commemorate(collectively)all elders recently died.The crocodile figure on the top of this headpiece is very similar to these found on large figures. The crocodile and many other animals represented in Senufo art are said to symbolize the uncontrolled spirits of bush. The art of the Senufo was some of the earliest recognized and collected in Europe and French colonial authorities recognized the quality of the objects and brought them back to France where artists and others of the avant-garde began collecting Senufo art. The Senufo continue to produce stunning objects and collectible piece of art. See a headdress of the same type in Warren M. Robbins and Nancy Ingram Nooter.
