The dancing of the masks celebrate the life of the deceased while at the same time serves to equally guide the new ancestor out of the village so that the spirit of the deceased cannot harm the living. A number of masks appear each with a different sculptural form and identity reflecting Dogon mythology, cosmology to give sculptural shape to Dogon understanding of the world of the living. This example of the bird mask with its elongated legs and its beak reaching down the face is an interesting variation of the Dogon bird mask. Recommended Reading:Griaule, M.
