Malí, Minianka Máscara zoomórfica «misikun» Madera, pigmentos, masa resinosa restaurada Esta rara máscara «misikun» de los Minianka de Malí combina un significado ritual con un lenguaje formal potente y abstracto. Los cuernos, curvados en forma casi circular, simbolizan la perfección y aluden a las concepciones espirituales del principio divino de la creación, arraigadas tanto en las tradiciones bamana como en las interpretaciones de influencia islámica. En el contexto ceremonial, la máscara formaba parte de una marioneta portátil que aparecía en representaciones de iniciación y festivales. Como representación de una «misiba» (vaca lechera), encarnaba la generosidad, la prosperidad y la importancia fundamental del ganado para la vida comunitaria y la agricultura. Dimensiones: Altura: 44,5 cm Procedencia: Paul Kummert, Fráncfort del Meno, Alemania Galerie von Miller, Fráncfort del Meno, Alemania Bibliografía: van Dyke, Kristina, *African Art from the Menil Collection*, Houston 2008, p. 62 y ss.
