bâton rituel - Dogon - Mali

The caves in the Falaise de Bandiagara in the Pays Dogon are known for their ancient burial sites. Decorated with iron nails and iron sheeting. At the end a thin iron axe is inserted. Nice patina, showing their burial-cave origin. This axe could date from the 17th to the 19th Cent.
Collected in situ in the late 1990,s and from a private Dutch collection.
