Mask - Mali (No reserve price)

The Ci Wara mask is a stylized representation of the mythical animal, often a roan antelope, renowned for its grace and speed. It is designed with fine lines and geometric shapes that symbolize not only the animal but also the cosmic and spiritual forces associated with the fertility of the earth. This mask is worn during ritual ceremonies, notably agricultural dances, where the dancers, dressed in costumes evoking the animal, leap across the fields.
