Item Details

Description

Late 19th/Early 20th c.
Carved wood
23 1/2" x 7" x 5 1/8"
Provenance: Allan Stone Collection, New York
Note: This is an Ntomo mask used by the Bamana during agriculture ceremonies and is regarded as a symbol of protection. The seven horns indicate that this mask is androgynous.
Condition note: Professioanally conserved.
This is an Ntomo mask used by the Bamana during agriculture ceremonies and is regarded as a symbol of protection. The seven horns indicate that this mask is androgynous. The religion of the Bamana is directly related to the jow (initiation societies). As an initiate moves through the six societies, he is taught vital issues concerning societal concepts of the moral conduct of life, which contribute to the overall well-being of the individual and the community. He learns the importance of knowledge and secrecy, the dual nature of mankind, the necessity for hard labor in the production of crops, and the realities of surviving from day to day. The final jow, Kore, is devised to allow a man to regain that portion of his spirit that has been lost to the god through the process of reincarnation. If a man is unable to regain his spirit for several lifetimes, he will be entirely absorbed by the god and will cease to exist on Earth. The goal of the initiate then is to usurp the power of the god and remain on Earth, undergoing endless reincarnation. The number of horns dictates whether the mask is male, female or androgynous.
