Bamana / Dogon Iron Staff- Aboriginal Indigenous Art

Item Details

Description

Bamana / Dogon Iron Staff- Aboriginal Indigenous Art- Once ritualware from the Bamana people of Mali, Africa. Made of iron with bells. Forged by a skilled blacksmith, the staffs were usually made from several pieces and filled with an active energy ?nyama?. They were mostly figurative and were referred to as ?iron women? and were carried by those with high rank during initiation, and funerals. They were also commissioned by members of either the Jo or Gwan initiation associations, to be placed in the ground around altars in the sacred groves or in shrine houses. Item comes from the collection of Timothy Koock. Ships from Austin, Tx.
