Rare Child Size Ceremonial Kanaga Masks, Dogon Peoples
About the Item
Kananga masks form geometric patterns. These masks represent the first human beings and are normally made by carvers of the Awa society. The masks are worn during the Dama dancing ceremonies The Dogon believe that the Dama dance creates a bridge into the supernatural world. Without the Dama dance, the dead cannot cross over into peace
Every five years, Dama memorial ceremonies are held to accompany the dead into the ancestral realm and restore order to the universe. During the Dama celebration, Youdiou villagers circle around stilt dancers. The dance and costumes imitate a long-legged water bird. The dancers execute difficult steps while teetering high above the crowd. Through such rituals, the Dogon believe that the benevolent force of the ancestor is transmitted to them.
