Kote Kono a African Puppets from Mali
About the Item
African Puppets Kote Kono A, this "Kote Kono" animal
puppets depicting the hornbill bird with a large beak
during the Sogobo ceremony. This ancestral tradition
continues in the region of Segou in Mali, along the Niger
River and more particularly in the Bozo ethnic group. It is
an opportunity to regroup the different villages and give
rise to musical and theatrical performances whose highlight
is the puppet show. Far from being profane, each sculpture
or even painting staged by the organizers of Sogobo is
intended to honor the spirits of nature, the geniuses of the
bush so that they protect the men and ensure the abundance
of the rains, of fishing and harvesting. On Bronze Base foot.
Exceptional and unique piece.
