African Adone Antelope Mask from Burkina Faso Kurumba Region



Available: 19-20th Century Adone Antelope Mask


​
Africa> Burkina Faso> Northern Region> Kurumba People


"The protective [Adone] antelope is the totem of most African Kurumba clans, and headdresses representing graceful antelopes are danced during major  lifecycle events.

They escort the bodies of female and male elders to their tombs and supervise their burial on behalf of the clan’s ancestral spirits. At funerals, masks honor the deceased and free the spirit to travel to the world of ancestors.

They appear for a third time, just before the  first rains and the beginning of planting, in collective sacrifices that honor the ancestors and the spirits of the antelope."
                                               
Princeton University Art Museum




​The Kurumba people live in the north of Burkina Faso. Their artistic reputation rests on their Adone antelope headdresses.
