MALE CHI WARA HEAD CREST MASK. Bamana people, Mali. This mask is the mate to the example in Lot # 37. In contrast to the mask in Lot #37 where the body of chi wara is that of an antelope, here the horns of an antelope are combined with elements of a pangolin (curled tail) and aardvark (arched body), both noted for their skill as diggers. This mask is a metaphor for a farmer. Mounted on a custom base. H10.25in. W23.75in. See “Masks from West and Central Africa” by Mary S. and Paul P. Rosen 2013 pp.94-95.
