EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Bamana Tyi Wara Mask from Mali, crafted with wood, metal, and string. Standing at a height of 38 cm, this remarkable piece is part of a private collection. The mask holds great significance as it is used in ceremonies that pay homage to the Tyi Wara or antelope spirit, which played a vital role in teaching the people about agricultural cultivation. The intricate design features animal figures with zoomorphic characteristics, including an impressive tail and horn. Originating from West Africa, this tribal Malian artifact serves as both a ceremonial and ritual object. Its headdress adds an element of grandeur to its overall appearance. Captured by photographer Heini Schneebeli, this image beautifully captures the essence of this cultural treasure. It allows viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship and symbolism behind each carefully carved detail. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported into the heart of traditional Malian festivities where music fills the air and vibrant celebrations take place. This powerful representation reminds us of the rich heritage and deep spiritual connection that exists within African art forms.
