Hyaena mask "suruku" of the "korè" society - Mali,

Item Details

Description

wood, dark brown patina, pierced eyes, projections on forehead and nose, stylized ears, notched tattoos, slightly dam., minor missing parts;
the masks were looked upon as bearers of energy, and already during their making they received blood sacrifices. During the performance the dancers took a crooked posture, leaning on short sticks, which optical lengthens their arms and imitates the bearing of the hyaena. The meaning of the hyaena mask differs according to the respective context of its appearance. Within the scope of the "koré" celebration the hyaena in most cases symbolizes the effort of the initiate to perfect their secret knowledge.
