MALIAN DOGON GONGOLE MASK. These wooden masks are integral to Dogon culture, particularly in ceremonies such as the dama, a collective funerary rite that escorts the souls of the deceased to the spirit world. The mask appears to be a variation of a Dogon mask, possibly a Gongole mask, as suggested by similar examples found in collections. - Height: 14 inches. Estimate $150-200
