Dogon Iron Mask From Mali, Known As The "blacksmith's Mask"

Known as “blacksmith’s masks,” these forged masks are revered because they come from the fire, They are (as seen here) often topped with a stylized figure of Nommo; here, he holds two spears, and the figure ends in three snakes (another sacred animal). The style is very minimalist, giving it a very modern look; it has significant rust patina and is in good condition. Height: 34 cm.
