Mask kanaga
This headdress with double crossbars was made of light, pale-coloured wood. It has been painted white, black and blue. There is a net at the back.Masks of this kind were worn by dancers during the funeral ceremonies of the Dogon, which took place every 12 years. In the funeral ceremonies, known as Dama, the souls of the deceased family members are transported from the world of the living into the world of ancestral spirits.Today, the Kanaga masks of the Dogon are mainly danced during performances for tourists.
