A lovely old Bamana or Bambara ceremonial horse figure.. This beautifully carved horse figure / puppet is adorned with decorated brass plating and coarse type of hair as its mane and a rope reign. The saddle type piece on the rear of the figure has an exquisitely carved design. The heavy custom made stand is also part of the sale, this is a large and heavy item so I apologise for the shipping costs,
These figures are used during agricultural ceremonies to celebrate a good year of harvest and to bring in good vibes for a following good year.
A Kore Duga (horse) dancer wears a wooden mask. In one hand he would carry a long wooden sword, and in the other he manipulates his “mount”, a wooden hobby horse.
Wearing masks an net costumes from which dangled bits of calabash shell, iron, fruit husks and other objects, members of the Kore Duga group would descend on the village riding this “horse”. Their antics broke every taboo to remind the village of inappropriate behaviours – they parodied sexual behaviour, smashed implements and devoured everything they could lay their hands on.
