The arts of Dogon people of Mali are among the best known of all African groups. The sculptures were stored in the house of the Hogon, the spiritual leader and taken out to commemorate and honor their ancestors.
The Dogon live in the remote Bandiagara cliffs. They have a very complex cosmology and are known for their incredible masks and sculptures. Sculptures are important in their everyday life.
Dogon art is as stubbornly individualistic as the tribe itself. They believe that every living creature, man or beast, has its own soul or nyama, which is immortal.
