賣家描述
Mossi Karanga Mask - Ouahigouya Region, Burkina Faso, incl stand
This exceptionally tall wooden mask combines a zoomorphic base with a slender anthropomorphic figure and a vertical, openwork plank structure. The lower section is crowned by a stylized antelope head with elongated, grooved horns and a toothed muzzle. Above this rises a female figure with bent legs, a long neck, and an abstracted face. Incised geometric patterns, decorative beads, and metal rings accentuate the dark, glossy wooden body. The interplay of figure, plank, and animal head lends the work a pronounced vertical dynamism.
The mask belongs to the northern Mossi style of the historical Yatenga, centered in the Ouahigouya region. Characteristic of this style are the tall masks, known as karanga, featuring antelope motifs and vertical structures. A particular variant, the karan-wemba, incorporates a female figure, reminiscent of a highly respected elder woman or ancestor. Such masks could appear at funerals and memorial services. The complex form of the present example thus combines animal, human, and abstract architecture into an image of genealogical and spiritual continuity.
Literature (selection):
Christopher D. Roy: Art of the Upper Volta Rivers. Paris 1987.
Christopher D. Roy / Thomas G. B. Wheelock: Land of the Flying Masks. Munich 2007.
Jean-Baptiste Kiéthéga: L’or de la Volta Noire. Paris 1983.
