Item Details

Description

Title: Dogon Box - Mali - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Second half 20th century

Origin: Mali

Dimension: 17,32 Inch

Materials: wood

Weight: 1,54 Pounds

Item type: boxes, usual items

Description: Embellished with motifs sculpted in bas-relief, this work of African art , a box fitted with two movable flaps, established on three legs, was probably designed to store active medicinal preparations prepared according to the councils of elders who had been initiated into the science of trees or "jiridon". Figures are meant to activate the healing power of actives. Matte patina.
The Dogon are a people renowned for their cosmogony, their esotericism, their myths and legends. Their population is estimated at around 300,000 souls living in the south-west of the Niger loop in the Mopti region of Mali (Bandiagara, Koro, Banka), near Douentza and part of northern Burkina (north-west of Ouahigouya ). The Dogon blacksmith artisans, forming an endogamous caste called irim, today produce weapons, tools, and also work with wood. "Masters of fire", they are also supposed to heal burns (Huib Blom).
