Dogon ointment bronze pot - Mali - African Art Tribal

Item Details

Description

Title: Dogon ointment bronze pot - Mali - African Art Tribal Art

Type: Pot, ointment, box

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: Mali

Weight: 3,06 Pounds

Material: African bronze

The Dogons are a people renowned for their cosmogony, their esotericism, their myths and legends. Their population is estimated at about 300,000 souls living southwest of the Niger Loop in mali's Mopti region (Bandiagara, Koro, Banka), near Douentza and part of northern Burkina (northwest of Ouahigouya). Villages are often perched atop scree at the hillside, according to a unique architecture. The history of migration and the dogon facilities (about ten main groups, fifteen different languages) relates to several hypotheses. Some historians believe that the Dogons fled an area west of their present location as a result of an assault.
