Earth & Nature: African Masks & Sculptures

Polychrome Hyena Mask - Bozo / Bambara - Mali
We were told it was Bambara, but we lean more toward a Bozo designation, which seems more appropriate to us.

The Bozo, a fishing people of the Niger, are especially renowned for their polychrome, highly movable and colorful puppets.

Masque Hyene polychrome - Bozo / Bambara - Mali
Il nous a été confié comme Bambara, mais nous penchons plutôt pour une appellation Bozo, qui nous semble plus adéquate.

Les Bozo, peuple de pêcheurs du Niger, sont surtout très renommés pour leurs marionnettes polychromes, extrêmement mobiles et colorées.
