Superb. I love these.
@Thank you Chantal. I showed it earlier already, but removed it after a while. Now I needed that Dogon sun for something, and decided to post it here again... This one is really a Beauty.
Does it signify or protection amulet? Is it worn by men or women or both? It comes over to me as very male. So strong. Even though it carrier is replaced by leather, the cowry bells finish it very esthetical.
A lovely piece, and I think a must have if you collect from the Dogon people. Well done Eva, to show us.
For me a impressive piece.
@Ingrid: thank you. I do not know exactly. The Dogon live their own very spiritual life, different from all the other ethnies in Mali. But I am convinced it is a protective amulet. The Dogon universe is quite different from all the other ethnies in Mali.... and I do not know it s secrets. So I cannot tell you whether it is worn by men or women or both.........
