A Senufo Mask Senufo, Côte d'Ivoire Ohne Sockel / without base Wood, cowrie snails, cord. H 44 cm. Provenance: - Imelda and Paul (1924-2014) Berger-Frei, Riehen. - Berger-Frei community of heirs, Basel. Inventory number on the inside edge: "No. 111 Senoufo" (see photos). ------------------------------------------- The Senufo are an ethnic group of around 3 million people in the border triangle of Côte d'Ivoire, Mali and Burkina-Faso. Predominantly living in villages, agriculture, previously supplemented to a greater extent by hunting, forms the economic basis of the ethnic group. The distinctive mask system of the Senufo is closely linked to various male associations, in particular the Poro association, the central social institution of Senufo society. The hierarchically structured secret society is responsible for the education and initiation of boys and men. It also plays a decisive role in all spiritual and religious aspects of life and ultimately maintains the social order within the community. The Senufo mask system is characterized by a great variety of forms and types. Due to the incomplete oral traditions and the confidentiality of the initiates, it is difficult to precisely identify atypical specimens such as this one. Further reading: Förster, Till (1988).
