The Baga people occupy the northern coast of Guinea and the southern coast of Guinea-Bissau. They live in the marshy area flooded six months of the year, during which time the only way to get around is by a dugout canoe. They live in villages divided into two to four quarters, which are in turn divided into five or six clans. Traditionally, the village is headed by the eldest member of each clan. The men fish and grow cola nuts; the women grow rice. Spiritually, they believe in a single god, known as Kanu, assisted by a male and female spirits. The only fundamental ritual is initiation, which takes place every twenty-four years. Before burial, the dead are displayed in a sacred wood and their belongings are buried. Baga had rich traditions of multifunctional masks and sculpture, many of which were suppressed with the advent of Islam. The best known of these is the massive Nimba(or Dumba) ma

Such a sculpture steeped in local mythology and secrecy. It served not only as a headpiece with a grass(raffia) costume that reached to the ground covering the dancer but was also kept on a shrine(altar) as an important object endowed with magical powers. The headpiece does not represent a specific being or animal but is a mythic and symbolic composite. Despite the bovine style horns and extended face the mask known as Tonkongba among the Baga and Tabakan among the Landuma people. The mask-headpiece is said to be a creature from the sea. It was also called Namba among the neighboring Nalu. However in much of the literature it is identified with the Landuma. Tonkongba was a secretive mask. Little known and much feared by the people. Appearing at funerals and dances of other masks it served as a validating symbol for initiations and served as something of town crier spreading news. It knows the future and could discuss contemporary affairs. The mask prosecuted wrongdoers. Cured those ill and protected the young boys who were particularly vulnerable to spirits during their initiation into adult society. Tonkongba was a mask to be respected

Stunning Baga Tribe Nimba Mask - Rare version of the shoulder mask - African
BAGA NIMBA MASK From Guinea-Bissau West Africa This is a rare example of a Baga Nimba mask. Unlike the usual shoulder masks this one was made to be worn on the top of the head to enhance the height of the wearer who would be hidden by the hanging raffia during ceremonies. The colour and patina of this mask is wonderful. The overall condition is very good for its age. The Nimba or D'Mba mask represents the mother of fertility who protects the pregnant women of the village and resides over all ceremonies. Such as those of celebration, weddings and births. The dancer, wearing a full raffia costume, carries the mask on his shoulders, looking out through holes or an opening between the breasts. Some masks rise more than eight feet above the ground; and most show a standardized pattern of facial scarification. 38cm L x 18cm W x 20cm D EARLY- ... moreMID 20TH CENTURY £850 IF IT ISN'T TOO MUCH TROUBLE PLEASE PAY VIA BACS OR CASH ON DELIVERY/ COLLECTION AND NOT PAYPAL THANK YOU THE BAGA PEOPLE LIVE ALONG THE COAST AND LOWLANDS OF GUINEA BISSAU.

Wooden Snake headdress (statue) from Baga tribe of Guinea Bissau
Carved and painted wooden snake headdress. Representing the spirit Basonyi, used in ceremony by the Baga people of Guinea Bissau. The common belief suggests that this serpent effigy represents the African python, which is the largest snake in Africa. However, the body form(short, thick subtriangular body and large triangular head) and color pattern design(large lateral triangles of shades of red, brown and black) clearly indicate that the carving represents the West African Gaboon viper(Bitis rhinoceros) which occurs from Guinea to Benin and grows to 6 feet in length(second in size in Africa only to the python) g6.RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Fuk%601d72f%2B%3Eg6%3E-146f2725bc2-0x105-

Though numbering only about 35-45.000, the Baga are well known for their art and sculpture. The term Baga identifies not only a people or an area but also equally identifies shared cultural traditions and art forms with neighboring Nalu and Landuma and the dominant Susu people.

Nice African Serpent Baga Or Baga Snake "Bansonyi" From Southern Guinea
Here for sale is a Wonderful carved and color painted African Baga snake also called Bansonyi. According to Frederick Lamp's research( Art of the Baga. New York, 1996) The spirit Ninkinanka, of the snake called bansonyi or Mantsho-or-no-Pön. Reigned among the Baga people, who feared him. He was the spirit who could bring rain, provide wealth, and children to infertile women. Each section within a village was represented by the wooden image of a serpent, like a totemic animal. The bansonyi headcrest appeared during competitions between different clans. Young people dressed in a complex suit topped by the representation of the snake faced each other during dances that were judged by women. The snake also manifested itself during the final phase of the girls and boys initiation and at the beginning initiation ceremonies for young adults. ... moreAssociated with the rainbow. Considered the source of the rivers and a marker of the end of the rains, the snake evokes the idea of life and death, the beginning and the end. I purchased it from an local estate auction and was told it came from a person who spent several years in Africa several decades ago and brought it back when returning to USA. Now I downsize my collection and other collectors can have chance to enjoy this fabulous African art. Overall it is in very good condition except there are some minor aged scratches and cracks that did not distract the attractiveness of this wonderful primitive art. Size: 45"h Please email me if you have any question. Thank you for visiting my auction!

The Baga people are a small West African ethnic group living in a coastal area of swamps and inland waterways in Guinea bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Though numbering only about 35-45.000, the Baga are well known for their art and sculpture. The term Baga identifies not only a people or an area but also equally identifies shared cultural traditions and art forms with neighboring Nalu and Landuma and the dominant Susu people. This standing female figure could have been used during ceremonies of a ritual organization primarily for women known as Menda. Her interesting stance with prominent breasts, protruding naval and conspicuous abdomen emphasize her womanhood. Lamp identifies a small figure used in the Menda ceremonies as âchildren of Zigiren-Wonde.â(Lamp 1996: Ill. 112, p. 131) The figure shows a typical Baga hairstyle seen on the large Dâamba sculptured masks and strong facial features seen on other ritual figures and drums. Sculpture from the Baga people along the Atlantic seaboard has been known and documented for an extended period of time as early as the middle of the nineteenth century.

Arts of Africa - Minature Baga Nimba Shoulder Headdress - Guinea -13.5 H X 5Wide
Guinea and Guinea-Bissau OLD Today. The Baga people, 60,000 in total, occupy the northern coast of Guinea and the southern coast of Guinea-Bissau. They live in the marshy area flooded six months of the year, during which time the only way to get around is by a dugout canoe. They live in villages divided into two to four quarters, which are in turn divided into five or six clans. Traditionally, the village is headed by the eldest member of each clan. The men fish and grow cola nuts; the women grow rice. Spiritually, they believe in a single god, known as Kanu. Assisted by a male and female spirits. The only fundamental ritual is initiation, which takes place every twenty-four years. Before burial, the dead are displayed in a sacred wood and their belongings are buried. Baga had rich traditions of multifunctional masks and sculpture. Many of ... morewhich were suppressed with the advent of Islam. The best known of these is the massive Nimba( or Dumba) mask. With its great cantilevered large nose, a large pair of breasts, crested head supported on the upper part of a female torso. Carved so as to rest on the shoulders of the wearer, his body hidden in raffia fiber. The mask can also stand on four legs.
