Bozo fish puppet mask - Cameroon - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Bozo fish puppet mask - Cameroon - African Art Tribal Art

Item Category: Fish, puppet, mask

Date/Period: Contemporary

Origin: Cameroon

Materials: Wood

Dimensions: 16,93 Inch

Weight: 0,99 Pounds

Note: Stand not included. A universal or custom base can be ordered separately.

Additional Information: The Bozo , mostly fishermen and farmers, live in the northern part of Bambara country in the interior delta of the Niger and remain today still semi-nomadic, moving their dwellings according to the seasonal floods. They speak the Mande language and Sorogama. Within their group, we distinguish the Sorko or Sorogo, the Hain, and the Tie. In addition to their remarkable masks, the Bozo and Bambara are renowned for their puppets of various sizes and frequently articulated, which are exhibited during the Sogow Bo puppet theater, which is organized on the initiative of young people in the villages, mainly in the Segou region, and which plays an educational role. The invention of these puppets is attributed to the genies of the bush who kidnapped Toboji Centa, a Bozo fisherman.
