For a little history: The Djimini Do Society, rooted in the traditions of the Ivory Coast, celebrates a long heritage of artistic excellence and community significance. Known for their expressive wooden masks, the Djimini create pieces that blend human and animal features, reflecting deep animistic beliefs and the profound influence of neighboring Senufo artistry. In Djimini culture, masks like these are traditionally worn by men of the 'Do' society, a group that governs the village's social and political spheres. Adorned with symbolic horns and intricate scarifications, these masks are not merely decorative but serve as pivotal conduits in ceremonial rites, notably during the funerals of respected figures and the significant 'Eid al-Fitr' at the end of Ramadan.
