The abstracted facial form is based on that of a
twenty-foot-long "great mask" that is carried but not worn and that
functions as an ancestral effigy of the first death. All Dogon masks lead the
spirits of the deceased toward the ancestral realm.
There are nearly eighty styles of Dogon masks, and for the most part they all
utilize the use of various geometric shapes in their design, independent of the
various animals they are supposed to represent. Most masks have large geometric
eyes and stylized features and are often painted or colored with various
substances. The Dogon continue an ancient masquerading tradition called "Dama"
which commemorates the origin of death. Dama memorial ceremonies
are held to accompany the dead into the ancestral realm and restore order to the
universe. In these ceremonies there are a large number of performers, often a
few hundred, and it is considered absolutely necessary to the ceremony.

Dogon
masks by Barbara DeMott

The better known Kanaga and Sirige masks
are followed in the dama ceremony by masks that evoke the behavior of some of
the animals that inhabit the regions where the Dogon live and hunt.
They include among others - antelopes, hares, lions, hyenas, cows, birds and
monkeys.
