Large Satimbe Dogon Mali Mask
They are called Satimbe, for the name of the female ancestor who sits on them, a rare mask of this quality and age. It must date from the very beginning of the last century, with an important and very beautiful sacrificial patina and blood drips on the back, forged nail, tin inlay (points of the breasts, faces, jewelry), the face is very cubist, it still wears a bite, certainly not original because these were changed regularly, the arms are articulated and therefore had to move during dances, height 94 cm, good condition, former Belgian Serge Sheer collection.
