Worn areas, age cracks, chips, overall condition fair. Thank you and please view my other items. BACKGROUND Seventy-eight different types 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-

Rare Antique African Hand-Forged Iron Double Snake Spiral/Dogon Shrine, Ancestor
Rare. A ntique hand forged iron double snake sculpture. The two snakes twisted around each other and forming a coil or spiral with a horned snake at the top. 8 1/2" H x 7" W at bottom of spiral; an old rust patina showing age. Research from the only similar piece I could find on the internet(as opposed to the many. More common Lobi snake currency works) stated that this is a Dogon ancestor figure, in the shape of a snake that led the people to their present home. It would have been placed in a shrine and probably used in the Lebe cult. Item came from the very large estate of African art that belonged to a long time Santa Fe collector and dealer who bought many of his things in the 1960's and 1970's when he had a gallery in Santa Fe. Much of what I bought was very old and many things rare. gsrx_vers_526(GS 6.6.6(526)

Dogon Kneeling Figure Abstract Nommo Mali Africa
Title, Dogon Kneeling Figure Abstract Nommo Mali Africa Type of Object, figure, Country of Origin, Mali, People, Dogon, Materials, Wood, Approximate Age, 20th Century, Dimensions, 12.5 inches H. x 2 inches W. Overall Condition, Good. Most of our pieces have spent decades on at least two continents. And have been treasured by several owners. Small splits, scrapes and cracks are a normal part of their patina attesting to their age and extensive use. We examine each piece carefully when we receive it and report any damage we find in our listings. Please look carefully at the pictures which may also reveal condition and damage. Damage/Repair, General wear, Additional Information: An interesting complexe kneeling figure tentatively attributed to the Dogon people of Mali. Its structure is close to the Chiwara masks of Bamana. But here, there is ... moreno holes or any indication of its use as a headpiece. This was probably used as a shrine piece. 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 west 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 dwellings, as well as their shrines and granaries, are constructed in a uniquely haunting way, leaving even the most jaded observer spellbound, in what can only be described as a"magic kingdom. The Dogon have taken the time-honored worship of ancestors to new heights, and their huge pantheon of astounding and colorful carvings reflect this. It is possible today for tourists and scholars to arrange masked dances for public view, but these dances are for entertainment only, and only a few of the art-forms are actually revealed.

Its origin had its inspiration from the Secret Museum of Mankind, which was an anonymous collection of ethnographic and risque images of earths inhabitants throughout the four corners ... moreof the earth published by Manhattan house in the 1930′s. This fascination in my youth cast the die for my future worldwide travels and ethnix was to become the funding source for research and the collection of artifacts.

Burkina Faso: Old and Rare Tribal used African Dogon Staff Figure.
Burkina Faso: Rare and old Tribal used African Dogon Staff Figure. Height: 52 cm. AFRICA- 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 ... moreare 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.

Dogon Female Tellem Posture Mali African SALE Was $490
Title, Dogon Standing Female Figure Tellem Posture Africa, Type of Object, figure. Statue, Country of Origin, Mali, People, Dogon, Materials, Wood. Pigment, encrustation, Approximate Age, mid/second half 20th century, Dimensions, 54.5 inches H. x 11 inches W. Overall Condition, Good, Damage/Repair, hand cracked. Cracks in encrustation, old bug damage, chips. HEAVY! Additional Information: A standing female figure in the archaic"Tellem" pose. With arms raised to the heavens. This standing figure portrays Tellem ancient spirits that the Dogon venerate to bring rain to their dry land. The standing position of the figures with their arms upraised are said to be acting as intermediaries to deities for rain, or the point of contact with the world of the ancestors and as an honored ancestor kept in a family or village shrine. This female ... morefigure is the reality of the past and the present and must be considered in the context of Dogon belief in this world of dual but parallel realities. Around 1490. The Dogon fled the Mossi cavalry and its Islamic theology, settling in the imposing cliffs of Bandiagara, the land of the Tellem. As more Dogon migrated into the area, they absorbed the Tellem into their culture. In the process, there emerged what is recognized today as the"Dogon style. There are numerous theories about the meaning of these statues, from a"prayer for rain, to less specific ones, with the statue serving as a priestly intermediary for ancestral contact. Like most Dogon art, its true meaning is shrouded in myth. The Dogon, numbering around a quarter of a million, are one of most remarkable cultures in the world. Due to centuries of cultural isolation, Dogon art remains remarkably unaffected. They have become a laboratory, of sorts, for ethnologists. They are a very hospitable people, much to the relief of the scholars and journalists who have intruded upon them. Though they occasionally perform dances for visitors, they carefully guard the majority of their ritual and artistic traditions. The

Old European Large Trade Beads Sky Blue Dogon Nigeria African
Title, Old European Large Trade Beads Sky Blue Dogon Nigeria African Type of Object, Wound glass beads, Made In, Europe, Traded In, Africa, Approximate Age, Late 19th-Mid 20th Century Overall Condition, Fair to Good. Some of our beads have traveled at least three continents. And have graced numerous owners. Small chips, corrosion, and pitting are a normal part of their patina attesting to their age and extensive use. Damage/Repair, Internal/external chips and cracks. Pitting and general wear, Bead Size, 15-20 mm in diameter. Please see picture with penny for size comparison(US penny is 19 mm diameter) Strand Length, 27 inches(includes string/raffia) Additional information: Most glass beads produced in Europe from the late 1800s to mid 1900s fall into one of three categories: wound. Drawn and molded. Wound beads were manufactured by winding ... moremolten glass around a metal rod until it took on the form of the finished bead. Once the glass cooled and hardened, there was no need to perforate itâremoving the metal rod left a hole through which the bead could be threaded. Using the wound glass method, beads could be manufactured in small workshops without the need for massive and expensive equipment. But each bead had to be created individually, making cheap, large-scale production impossible. Because of this, another technique was developed and perfected in the famous bead-making workshops of Venice and elsewhere in Europe. In the drawn glass method, molten glass was affixed to metal plates and then drawn out by two workers walking in opposite directions. The malleable glass would stretch until it became a long thin cane which could then be cut into small sections and formed into beads. The information above is drawn primarily from Lois Sherr Dubin's.

Dogon Satimbe Dance Mask purchased in Mali in 2001 (37" tip to tip)
Purchased on a trip to Mali in 2001; mask was no doubt carved for the tourist trade. Last 2 pictures posted show the dance performance we witnessed. The Satimbe mask. I am told, is used to represent women ancestors, an elder or grandmother. Dogon masks are box-shaped and the figure placed on top of the mask represents the woman. Paypal only; 48 contiguous states; no returns. Shipping cost reflects over-sized box and insurance.

Female figure could represent a lineage mother or simply, it could represent the concept of life and fertility. Dogon figures serve a number of important symbolic roles but all must meet certain aesthetic requirements of representation and symbolic meaning. Dogon figures are among some of the finest art produced in West Africa and the obvious quality of carving is impressive. 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 west 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 dwellings, as well as their shrines and granaries, are constructed in a uniquely haunti

Dogon Monkey Mask Female Figure on Top Africa SALE Was $390

Pigment, Approximate Age, Mid 20th century, Dimensions, 18.5 inches H. x 7 inches W. Overall Condition, Good, Damage/Repair, chips to the back. In the eye, and in many other places, cracks in figure and mask head and face, dents, Additional Information: An interesting mask depicting a quite monkey face with a kneeling female figureon top: The surface of this mask is covered with an encrusted patina. This seemingly well used mask falls into the category of white monkey masks strongly represented in the mainstream of Dogon masks. Three different Monkey Masks are identified among the Dogon differentiated primarily by their color and not the shape. Different shapes reflect local carving traditions ... morewhile color reflects the greater Dogon identification. Dogon identify the different monkeys by a specific name related to a color. Dege" refers to the'black' monkey. 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. Living along the Bandiagara escarpment in Mali the Dogon are well known for their spectacular and dramatic funerary rituals and the various masks that appear during ceremonies. The funerary rituals known as Dama are presented by initiated males. Members of the men s secret society known as Awa, who dance the masks that give life and form to Dogon myths. The dancing of the masks celebrate the life of the deceased while at the same time serves to equally guide the new ancestor out of the village so that the spirit of the deceased cannot harm the living.

Ornate Antique African Dogon Bronze / Brass Jewelry Box
The details are this wonderful old Dogon bronze jewelry box are fantastic. It is a very well made and solid antique piece with a lid that fits very well. It is a very heavy piece and has no holes in it like most of these older bronze pieces. It was probably intended to hold valuables but it is possible that it might have held medicine. Most of the medicine boxes are not this well made although they are interesting. I have four of them and they all cost me above my opening bid.

Numerous age cracks, chips, overall condition fair. Thank you and please view my other items. BACKGROUND The Dogon people live ... moreon a large plateau. With most of the villages situated on cliffs to the north and the east. According to Dogon oral tradition, the tribe settled in this area between the 14th and the 15th centuries, after escaping from the Mande kingdom. Legend has it that a snake led them to the cliff at the southern end of the plateau, where they overwhelmed and usurped the local Tellem and Niongom populations. The Dogon livelihood is based on agriculture concentrated in fields at the edge of the cliff, where water is scarce, but enough for occasional irrigation. Dogon social and religious organizations are closely interlinked and out of these arose four principal cults which accounts for the richness and diversity of Dogon culture. Dogon art is extremely versatile, although common stylistic characteristics- such as a tendency towards stylization- are apparent on the statues. Dogon figures are predominantly associated with the ancestor cult. They are carved either for personal or family use or, if they commemorate the foundation of a community, are worshipped by the village. The artistic influence of Niongom and Tellem traditions on Dogon statues is apparent. The Niongom people occupied

Textiles are dyed with the resist, stitch dying technique, and this is one of the few I have found that is two-sided, with a second, heart design pattern on one side of an already resist dyed piece, probably done with some type of stamping and bleaching technique This piece is approximately 36" x 64” 8 strips sewn together; very soft from use and wear; in very good condition with the exception of a tear on one side. All of the older works may have minor issues with strip seams loosening and/or tiny but hard to see holes. Or loosening of a weave, from the removal of stitches when dying is completed. gsrx_vers_526(GS 6.6.6(526)

The more remarkable they seem. Their art, like this small but classic figure, is also astounding, as their masks and other objects 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 west 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 dwellings, as well as their shrines and granaries, are constructed in a uniquely haunting way, leaving even the most jaded observer spellbound, in what can only be described as a magic kingdom. The Dogon have also taken the time-honored worship of ancestors to new heights, and their huge pantheon of astounding, and colorful masks reflect this. It is possible today for tourists and scholars

Approximately 39' from bead to bead. Beads vary greatly in size, going from very small to quite large.

Believed to date back as far as the 17th century. These beads were often used in Dutch villages to make garden mosaics, instead of having flowers in the formal gardens during the late ... moreseventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. This was before they found their way to the shores of West Africa to make jewelry for the Dogon people. Thanks for looking-See you on eBay! All sales in US currency only.

Dogon Double Headed Zoomorphic Headrest Mali African
Title, Dogon Double Headed Zoomorphic Headrest Mali African, Type of Object, Artifact. Headrest, Country of Origin, Mali, People, Dogon, Materials, Wood, Approximate Age, Second half 20th Century, Dimensions, 20.5 inches L. x 10.75 inches H. x 6 inches D. Overall Condition, Good, Damage/Repair, old crackin one foot. Chips and scratches Additional Information: A Dogon headrest supported by a carved animal head in each end. The center has three strong feet resting on an oblong base. This headrest is carved in a hard wood and is in good condition besides the shallow crack in one foot. Dogon art is not a single fixed style as has been often characterized in discussions of their sculpture. For the age of Dogon art extends to the past as early as the 12th century and continues to be created in the present with a number of sub-styles measured against ... morethe core of an identifiable Dogon art and style.The Dogon interchange stylistic elements with neighboring groups producing an interesting hybridism in some of their interesting sub-styles. This headrest/stool may reflects an influence that neighboring groups can have on the well defined core of Dogon sculpture. Scholars do not have enough evidences to confirm if the Dogon have produced and used headrests. Number of them state that most of the headrests attributed to the Dogon were carved by the Tellem, an old population who first occupied the Dogon region. A few scholars support that headrests were carved and used by the Dogon, especially by Hogon priests and during burial ceremonies. The heads on this headrest/stool are similar to these found on some Dogon artifacts. Recommended Reading: Laude's AFRICAN ART OF THE DOGON.

DOGON NOMMO FIGURE#2416 Tribe: Dogon Country: Mali. Material: Metal. Size: 5.75" 14.6 cm) Tall. Item: 2416 Provenance: Ex James E Adkins Estate Collection(Florida. USA) Condition: Used. Good.see images) This casting is of a Dogon nommo figure. 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. Smithing, and agriculture to their human descendants. 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. ... moreThe 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. by adding my eBay Store to your Favorites Check out my!
