The red monkey known as"Ko" and the white monkey called"Omono" Among the Dogon the monkey mask reflects the'wild' side of mankind, uncivilized, antisocial and dangerous. The dance and conduct of the masks while being danced reflect the reverse of what a solid upstanding Dogon man is considered to be as a hardworking agriculturalist. The monkey mask is the negative mirror of human behavior.

Exquisite African Art - Dogon Omono White Monkey Mask Used in Tribal Film
Exquisite African Art- Dogon Omono White Monkey Mask Used in Tribal Film Dogon Omono White Monkey Mask Tribe: Dogon Origin: Mali Materials: Wood Dimensions cm: 55 Tall x 16 Wide Approx Age: Mid- Later 20th Century This beautifully carved Dogon Omono Mask“white monkey Mask” is a bit of a film star! It was used in the re-make of a 1950′s tribal film“statues also die” which the film producer“Duncan Campbell” successfully filmed. I don’t think this lovely mask will earn its own star on the Hollywood’s walk of fame but will definitely steal someones heart as it is so lovely! A later 20th century piece covered in red. Black and white spots. The lower of the mask has had some damage to the 2 sides up from where the bite stick holes were and has split up, and some old insect damage which is long gone. The monkey itself has 2 faint hairline cracks ... moreon the body and a chip of wood missing on the chin. According to Dogon beliefs. The monkey represents wild, uncivilized, dangerous, and antisocial behavior– the direct opposite of their beliefs about the way a proper, solid, upstanding tribes person is expected to behave. The Dogon utilize three types of monkey masks which are identified solely by their color rather than their shape. Dege is known as the black monkey, while the white monkey is known as Omono, and the red monkey is called Ko. The white monkey mask. Omono, composed of a face mask crowned by the head& bust of a monkey. The white monkey masker dances in the dance sequence to the fast dege rhythm. His dance is similar to that of the rabbit, consists of hopping from leg to leg while crossing one leg diagonally in front of the other. The man who wears the mask leans on a stick& sits apart from the crowd in a melancholy attitude, but he is encouraged to dance by the singers who chant: Monkey on a high tree, all eyes are on you, the drum is beating for you, move your head, move your legs, all the people have their eyes on you. There are nearly eighty styles of Dogon masks. And for the most part they all util

Worn areas, age cracks, chips, overall condition fair. Thank you and please view my other items. BACKGROUND Seventy-eight different ... moretypes of mask have been identified by the French scholar Marcel Griaule. All of them have large geometric eyes and stylized features. Dogon masks evoke the form of animals associated with their mythology. Yet their significance is only understood by the highest ranking cult members whose role is to explain the meaning of each mask to a captivated audience. In the West, the most famous of these masks is certainly the Kanaga mask. Its stylized face is set beneath two pairs of geometric arms directed towards the sky and the earth. The crocodile mask, carved with a long jaw, is thought to protect the Dogon from the Nyagma or vital fluids which emanate from a slain crocodile. Bird masks, known as Dyodyomini, evoke the captured bird in Dogon mythology. 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-

The figure on the top is known as a Dyongu Seru(also Dyougou Serou) with its face hiden by its hands. This gesture means" to be ashamed" It is related to the myth of Dyongu Seru. The first man created by god Amma. According to Dogon oral traditions, this first man committed incest with his own mother who was the earth.

Burkina Faso: Tribal used Bronze Dogon mask with bird.
Burkina Faso: Tribal used Bronze Dogon mask with a bird. Height: 17 cm. AFRICA-art-GALLERY DOGON(DOGO. DOGOM, HABBE, HABE, KADO, KADDO, KIBISI, TOMBO) Mali. Burkina Faso The 400.000 Dogon live 180 miles south of Timbuktu on the cliffs of Bandiagara, which dominate the plains for over 150 miles. They speak approximately 120 dialects, many of which are not mutually comprehensible. At first hunters, now on their small fields they cultivate millet, sorghum, wheat, and onion. The millet is stored in high quadrangular granaries around which they build their houses. Because of the difficult approach to these regions and the aridity of the climate, the Dogon have been isolated and hence were able to conserve their ancient religious habits and ways of making the necessary implements, their carvings. Dogon social and religious organizations are closely ... moreinterlinked and out of this arose principal cults. Which accounts for the richness and diversity of Dogon culture and art. The clans are subdivided onto lineages, overseen by the patriarch, guardian of the clan’s ancestral shrine and officiant at the totemic animal cult. Beside this hierarchical system of consanguinity, male and female associations are entrusted with the initiations that take place by age group. Corresponding to groups of newly circumcised or excised boys or girls. The Dogon believe these operations remove the female element from males and vice versa. Circumcision thus creates a wholly male or female person prepared to assume an adult role. The members of an age group owe one another assistance until the day they die. Initiation of boys begins after their circumcision, with the teaching of the myths annotated by drawings and paintings. The young boys will learn the place of humans in nature, society, and the universe. In the Dogon pantheon Amma appears as the original creator of all the forces of the universe and of his descendant Lebe. The god of plant rebirth. Thefirst Dogon primordial ancestors. Called Nommo, were bisexual water gods. They were created

Kanaga masks are worn at rituals called dama, whose goal is to transport the souls of deceased family members away from the village and to enhance the prestige of the deceased and his descendants by magnificent masked performances and generous displays of hospitality. In 1935, French anthropologist Marcel Griaule witnessed a dama ritual in which twenty-nine out of a total of seventy-four masks were of the kanaga type. These masks are characterized by a wooden superstructure in the form of a double-barred cross with short vertical elements projecting from the tips of each horizontal bar. met Below are some videos showing the history and dance of the Kanaga- See some great pictures and a superb description by'Rand

It has been written that the black monkeys, Dege, are the"male villains of the bush. and that they stand for wickedness, gluttony and must not be emulated because it is the antithesis of the Dogon order(Sieber& Walker 1987, p. 134) This old traditional piece of African art would be a perfect addition to any African mask collection.

Arts of Africa - Old Dogon Mask - Mali - Burkina Faso - 24" Height x 6" Wide
Mali. Burkina Faso The 400.000 Dogon live 180 miles south of Timbuktu on the cliffs of Bandiagara, which dominate the plains for over 150 miles. They speak approximately 120 dialects, many of which are not mutually comprehensible. At first hunters, now on their small fields they cultivate millet, sorghum, wheat, and onion. The millet is stored in high quadrangular granaries around which they build their houses. Because of the difficult approach to these regions and the aridity of the climate, the Dogon have been isolated and hence were able to conserve their ancient religious habits and ways of making the necessary implements, their carvings. Dogon social and religious organizations are closely interlinked and out of this arose principal cults. Which accounts for the richness and diversity of Dogon culture and art. The clans are subdivided ... moreonto lineages, overseen by the patriarch, guardian of the clan’s ancestral shrine and officiant at the totemic animal cult. Beside this hierarchical system of consanguinity, male and female associations are entrusted with the initiations that take place by age group, corresponding to groups of newly circumcised or excised boys or girls. The Dogon believe these operations remove the female element from males and vice versa. Circumcision thus creates a wholly male or female person prepared to assume an adult role. The members of an age group owe one another assistance until the day they die. Initiation of boys begins after their circumcision, with the teaching of the myths annotated by drawings and paintings. The young boys will learn the place of humans in nature, society, and the universe. In the Dogon pantheon Amma appears as the original creator of all the forces of the universe and of his descendant Lebe. The god of plant rebirth. The first Dogon primordial ancestors. Called Nommo, were bisexual water gods. They were created in heaven by the creator god Amma and descended from heaven to earth in an ark. The Nommo founded the eight Dogon lineages and introduced weaving, smit

Many tales recount the hare's exploits. Tales and masked dances all tell the same story: the hare is a quick-witted little animal capable of withstanding formidable predators. Masks. However, such as that of the hare, have hidden meanings. The animal's saliva is dangerous. It is said that a person suffering from epilepsy can be treated by spitting in the open mouth of a living hare. If, later, the animal is caught and eaten by somebody else, the disease will then be transmitted on the latter. Dogon religion is defined primarily thro ugh the worshiping of the ancestors and the spirits whom they encountered as they moved across the Western Sudan. The Awa society is responsible for carrying out the rituals. Which allow the deceased to leave the world of the living and enter the world of the dead. Public rites include funerary rites(bago bundo) and the dama ceremony, which marks the end of the mourning period. Awa society members are also responsible for planning the sigui ceremonies, which commence every sixty years to hand on the function of the dead initiates to the new recruits.

This time, around 1500, they found a place almost unreachable by invaders on horseback-the arid but imposing Bandiagara Cliffs.

Mali: Large Old And Tribal Used African Dogon Kanaga Mask- 88 cm.
Impressive. Big 88 cm. African KANAGA mask from the Dogon, Mali, with double cross assembly and two human figures. The mask face was hand carved from a single piece of wood. With color pigments and cut in ornaments. The double cross was separately made and attached with plant fibres. AFRICA-art-GALLERY DOGON(DOGO. DOGOM, HABBE, HABE, KADO, KADDO, KIBISI, TOMBO) Mali. Burkina Faso The 400.000 Dogon live 180 miles south of Timbuktu on the cliffs of Bandiagara, which dominate the plains for over 150 miles. They speak approximately 120 dialects, many of which are not mutually comprehensible. At first hunters, now on their small fields they cultivate millet, sorghum, wheat, and onion. The millet is stored in high quadrangular granaries around which they build their houses. Because of the difficult approach to these regions and the aridity of the ... moreclimate, the Dogon have been isolated and hence were able to conserve their ancient religious habits and ways of making the necessary implements, their carvings. Dogon social and religious organizations are closely interlinked and out of this arose principal cults. Which accounts for the richness and diversity of Dogon culture and art. The clans are subdivided onto lineages, overseen by the patriarch, guardian of the clan’s ancestral shrine and officiant at the totemic animal cult. Beside this hierarchical system of consanguinity, male and female associations are entrusted with the initiations that take place by age group. Corresponding to groups of newly circumcised or excised boys or girls. The Dogon believe these operations remove the female element from males and vice versa. Circumcision thus creates a wholly male or female person prepared to assume an adult role. The members of an age group owe one another assistance until the day they die. Initiation of boys begins after their circumcision, with the teaching of the myths annotated by drawings and paintings.

The"walu. or antelope, ... moreis one of the best-known of their many remarkable masks. One reason for its notoriety is that the Dogon occasionally stage public dances wearing the walu. These strikingly abstract masks represent the antelope, an animal venerated for its beauty and strength. Animated dancers pound the earth with sticks to mimic the antelope pawing the ground. Though most Dogon masks are for funerary use. On occasion they will be danced for other reasons. To say the Dogon are one of the world's most fascinating cultures is an understatement. The more we learn, the more remarkable they seem. Their arts reflect a purity of style rarely encountered in modern Africa. The oral tradition of the Dogon tells us that they originated on the west bank of the Niger River about 1000 years ago. They moved westward at some point, into parts of what is now Mossi territory in Burkina Faso, but chose to return east due to pressure to assimilate into the Mossi Kingdom. This time, around 1500, they found a place almost unreachable by invaders on horseback, the arid but imposing Bandiagara Cliffs. Here most of the Dogon have remained to this day, as one of Africa's most spiritual people. Dogon family dwelli

The mask appears to have some age and long use. The surface is very worn. Here are few places in Sub-Saharan Africa where wooden carvings last for an extended period of time. The ravages of time. Nature, and use usually give wooden art forms a relatively short life span when compared ... morewith baked clay, stone or metal figures and masks. However among the Dogon people of Mali there are wooden carvings including headrests and figures that are hundreds of years old. These are often found in burial sites in caves high up on the cliff face along the Bandiagara escarpment where burials took place. Some of these date as early as the 1200âs. The Dege or Black Monkey masks of the Dogon fall into a category that is defined as predatory masks in that they are predators of human crops and animals though human-like in form exhibit the reverse of desired human behavior. When funerary ceremonies take place the Dege mask sits at the side making lewd and sexual gestures reflecting the reversal of proper Dogon conduct. Monkeys are thought to be gluttons. Irrational and unpredictable in their actions, all the reverse of what is considered normative and acceptable human demeanor. They provide the anti-esthetic and anti-humanistic mirror to human behavior that is to be shunned or corrected. Dege represents the dark forces of sorcery and are to be feared. This is a powerful carving with an interesting sense of design and execution.It would be well placed in any collecti

Damage/Repair, worn pigment. Cracks. Additional Information: This is a piece of a Kanaga mask and would be good to be used as a replacement for a broken part. A search of the literature ... moreunder the word Kanaga. Which may indeed be a Dogon word, gives a range of meanings. The most familiar, and the most unlikely, is the"Cross of Lorraine, a double-bar Christian cross which can be traced back to Byzantine times. If you see a depiction of this cross, it is readily apparent that the cross and the symbol on the Kanaga mask are totally unrelated, yet another failed attempt by missionaries to put a Christian spin on a"pagan" animist symbol. It most likely symbolizes something or someone in simple human form, connected to the Dogon creation myth, or perhaps to their brief association with the ancient Tellem people in the 16th century. It has also been described as a crocodile or a bird known as the"kommolo tebu. It is one of the few masks that the Dogon have allowed outsiders to photograph, and it remains an icon of African Art. The most familiar artworks of the Dogon are their ceremonial masks. Of which there are perhaps 100. A few of them have names, but it is doubtful that all of these are Dogon names. It is more likely, since the Dogon are secretive about actual meanings, that most are European. 93563* All content. Including pictures, Cop
