Item Details

Description

Antelope Headdresses (Chi Wara), Bambara Peoples, Mali. The mask honors Chi Wara, a mythical creature who taught the Bambara to grow grain. When crops are hoed, dancers wearing antelope headdresses leap and bound over the fields accompanied by drummers, in order to obtain an abundant harvest. The larger mask represents a buck; the smaller a female with her baby. The horn is a symbol of the millet's growth. 55" x 13" x 4" & 46" x 10" x 3". Good condition. Provenance: From the Estate of Joyce Colby.
