Descubra la tasación y los precios de esta y más obras de arte africano en Africartmarket. Anthropomorphic Face Mask Konden Or Ntomo - Mali, Malinke / Bamana



Descripción : wood, silver sheet, base Such masks were used in the context of boys' initiation by both groups, the Malinke and Bamana people. Among the Malinke, this mask type is the property of the konden initiation society and belongs to a mask family together with Balani and Balani Toure. Konden has a reputation for the finest dance movements, but also of being quick to strike out with his riping crop to punish naughty children. He embodies a kind of bogeyman that parents use as a threat to keep their children in check. Among the Bamana these masks are the property of the ntomo initiation society, whose apprenticeship lasts five years. The main aim of ntomo is to prepare the uncircumcised boys for adulthood. The ntomo mask dancer also carries a rod, which is said to have been used for the ritual flagellation of boys. A mask from the same workshop was auctioned as lot 264 at Zemanek-Münster on 2 June 2012 (cf. AHDRC 0142421). Published In: Marshall M.
