Charming vintage Bozo Fish marionette / mask from Mali

Item Details

Description

This is a very finely carved wooden dance mask or puppet from the Bozo peoples of Mali, Africa. The fishermen of the BOZO tribe of Mali took a fish like this in their boat to perform a ceremonial ritual, prior to fishing, They would ask the water spirits for a safe return home and for a good catch. The mask was held in the air and moved up and down by hand, The puppets and masks are paraded on boats that drift by on the Niger river, close to the beach. The musicians, singers and an occasional dancer are seated in boats as well. The mask measures 34 inches long.
