BAMANA, MASKS, Mali

These metal covered masks are some of many different types associated with different Bamana (or Bambara) men's groups, which include Kore, Ndomo, Komo, Kono and Jo, Styles vary by region plus there are also similar masks from the Marka, Malinke and Bozo peoples living in the same area.

*These masks have unusually heavy metal plating.
#These masks are the very common "Marka" masks.

Despite their appearance, most of our Bamana masks show no evidence of age or use and were probably made to be sold.
