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.

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.
