Early 20th C. Dogon Wood Plank Mask (Sirige)

Item Details

Description

West Africa, Mali, Dogon people, ca. early to mid 20th century CE. A massive, impressive, hand-carved wooden mask capped by an incredible tall staff, carved from the branch of a single tree. The sirige mask is one of the most important in the Dogon culture. The mask itself features a face with a rectangular form and deep, hollowed out channels for the eyes. A sharply acute angle in the center of the face acts as the nose. There is no mouth. Two long, projecting rectangles with deep grooves down their length form ears. The edges of the mask are perforated and thick twisted rope is wound through them, forming supports for wearing the mask. Towering above the mask is a massive plank with rattan lining its edges and openwork lines and triangles cut throughout its length. Blue, red, white, and dark brown / black organic pigments provide further decoration. Size: 6.5" W x 162.5" H (16.5 cm x 412.8 cm)

The Awa association of men in Dogon society conduct elaborate masquerades as funerary rituals, with their form used to assist the deceased on his journey to the afterlife. The sirige mask is worn by dancers in the days following the death of an adult man, and its immense height symbolizes the generations of the deceased's family, while the straight line shape is meant to connect the worlds of the sun and the Earth. Incredibly, the mask is held in the dancer's teeth and whirled in sweeping motions that represent the arc of the sun in the sky.
