Dogon Horned Cow Mask Mali

Description: {Description}Dogon Horned Cow Mask Mali This hand-carved wooden cow is simple in design, though it would be a wonderful addition to your growing collection! Early history is informed by oral traditions, which claim that the Dogon originated from the west bank of the Niger River (10th to 13th centuries). They emigrated west to northern Burkina Faso, where local histories describe them as kibsi. Around 1490, they fled a region now known as the northern Mossi kingdom of Yatenga when it was invaded by Mossi calvary. They ended up in the Bandiagara cliffs region, safe from the approaching horsemen. Carbon-14 dating techniques used on excavated remains found in the cliffs suggest that there were inhabitants in the region before the arrival in the Dogon, dating back to the 10th century. Those Dogon who did not flee were incorporated into Mossi society and were known as the nyonyose, or descendants of the first inhabitants. 142900 This hand-carved wooden cow is simple in design, though it would be a wonderful addition to your growing collection!
