UNUSUAL BAMBARA (BAMANA) MALI ZOOMORPHIC CARVED WOODEN FERTILITY STATUE FIGURE LARGE 63CM HIGH WEIGHT 8,8KG
AN UNUSUAL AFRICAN CARVED WOODEN FIGURE DATING TO THE MID 20TH CENTURY. IT WAS MADE BY THE BAMBARA OR BAMANA PEOPLE OF MALI, AND SHOWS A MAN WEARING A CURIOUS ANIMAL HEAD MASK WITH LONG FACE AND SNOUT.
These masks with long faces and snouts, are typical of ceremonial Kono or Kore masks worn by the Bamana. The Kono and Kore are amongst a number of men's societies associated with the Bamana who undertake ceremonial duties related to ensuring the success of crops, judicial matters and rites of passage at different ages. The masks for these groups are typically of elongated animal head form with ears at the top.
Other Bamana statues include fertility statues, meant to be kept with the wife at all times to ensure fertility.
OUR STATUE IS A WEIRD COMBINATION OF THESE TWO KINDS OF STATUES A MIXTURE OF A CEREMONIAL MASK AND FERTILITY STATUE. EXTRAORDINARY UNUSUAL AND RARE ITEM.
