Mask - Bozo - Mali (No reserve price)

In African art, the Bozos are known for their pieces in bright colors. A very beautiful example of a decorative animal mask, a polychrome lion. The Bozos are a people who remain to this day semi-nomadic, moving their dwellings according to the seasons and the water level, upstream or downstream of the river for some families. They often live on temporary islands created by reeds, or even partially create them by draining the banks of an islet. Forced to settle during the reign of Cheikhou Amadou (1810-1844), they remain nomadic and return to their thatched huts for a few months of fishing after the rainy season.
