Product Description
Ntomo Bamana Mask – Mali
The Bamana Ntomo is an initiation mask originating from the Bamabara tribe of Mali, wirthin the Ntomo Society. The elongated form and clean lines of this mask, depicting the stylized face of a young man, are hallmarks of a sculptural style that originated in the Segou region. The mask was worn in performances conducted by Ntomo, the first of several initiation associations that guided men from youth to old age, oversaw ritual activities, and gave structure to communities. The antelope and the youthful female figures on this mask encouraged young men to achieve prowess in farming and courting. While Ntomo is no longer active in the Segou region, secular youth associations now present entertaining performances featuring masks and marionettes.
Made of 100% wood, kaolin, pigments.
Model is W 20 – H 39 and weight 0.7 kg.
