Description: Ref: m-2110Height: 33 CMProduct Description Senufo mask from Ivory Coast. Piece over 50 years old. Delivered on base. The Senufo are mainly peasants who cultivate rice, millet, corn, yams, cassava and tea. The Senufos are subdivided into several subgroups: * the Pongala in the sub-prefecture of Kasséré * the Niaraforos mainly in the department of Ferkessédougou * the Tchébaras in the department of Korhogo * the Tagbanas/Tagouanas in Katiola * the Nanfarans in the sub-prefectures of KARAKORO, NAPIE, KOMBORODOUGOU, etc. * the Fodonons (who dance the Boloï commonly called panther dance) in Lataha, Kataha, Moroviné, Plagbo etc.) The Miniankas are considered related to the Senufo people. They are located in the districts of Koutiala and San, in Mali. Senufo villages are governed by a council of elders. From the age of 7, the Senufos are initiated and educated. Senufo theology is based on Koulotiolo, a powerful god, and Katielo, a mother goddess. Initiatory societies, of which the poro is the most important, play a determining role in the life of the Senufos. The making of a mask among the Senufo, a people of northern Ivory Coast, is not surrounded by mystery or sacredness. Making a mask, a stool, a mortar requires the same type of attention from the sculptor. The mask is basically just a wooden object. It will only become sacred the day it is danced in a liturgical context. To do this, you need the mask object, a costume, ornaments, the attitudes specific to the dance, the halo of mystery, power, and occult knowledge that accompanies the mask. The mask will guide the Senufo man in all the initiatory phases of the Poro or during funerals. Some masks also participate in public entertainment. Part delivered with an invoice and a certificate of authenticity.African art, African maskafrican art african tribal arte africana afrikanische kunst The Senufo are mainly peasants who cultivate rice, millet, corn, yams, cassava and tea.
