AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Dogon people live in Mali, in a region of the country called the Niger bend. They succeeded the Tellem around 1500 CE.
They are found more specifically on a plateau bordered by the Bandiagara cliff, which extends about 200 kilometers and overlooks a plain.
The traditional artistic corpus of the Dogon people is centered on the cult of ancestors and spirits.
There are numerous statues of different stylistic currents (kanaga, sirigé,...), festival masks sometimes impressive (kanaga, sirigé,...), but also granary doors and toguna posts.
The bronze objects made by the Dogon people are also very well known.
