Wirigo Mask - Dogon - Mali
The blade mask in traditional African art
African mask with Dogon blade. Although it is not possible to establish a link between the Mossi Karan mask and the Dogon Wirigo masks, the resemblance is striking, especially when we know that the origin of the Dogon blade masks is voltaic.
Our art gallery offers you other blade masks.
