多贡人居住在中央马里阿龙g the Bandiagara escarpment since they migrated there sometime in the 15th century. They are known for their hospitality and their cultural heritage, which has been recorded by the production of meaningful artwork since the culture was first established. Consequently, each Dogon village supports artisans such as sculptors, weavers and blacksmiths.

小型和大型祭坛图是狗狗艺术遗产的一个组成部分,经常由铁匠生产,谁是具有高度赋权的个人。这是雕刻祖先和魔术人物的铁匠,他施放了保护的护身符,伪造了物体,以及将魔法灌输成各种社会或协会的对象。无论在创造的一块部分,在创造过程中,铁匠的注意几乎普遍地放在“祖先”上,就像对象本身一样。

熟练的狗狗铁匠使用诸如丢失的蜡工艺等方法雕刻和铸造数字和物体;并且同样能够从原铁矿石和其他金属锻造物体。实际上,锻造或火是铁匠工作的焦点中心。它位于“伪造的火焰”中,金属被加热到白炽红色,橙色,黄色和白色热量,仅在这些高度升高的温度下,可以将塑料熨烫,足以形成和形成。从祖先描绘到马术车,坐在的人物和家畜,狗龙铁匠是铸造青铜雕塑的主人。它们也是锤击独特数字的专家,以似乎凝视着天堂。这些碎片被称为“星顶器”,通常在雄性和女性对中产生。

杜蒙创作神话周围的神话非常复杂,在Dogon社会中有很多辩论的有效性。由名字Marcel Griaule和Germaine Dieterlen的两位法国人类学家在1931年访问了Dogon,并记录了Dogon认为他们被称为神所谓的神Nommothousands of years ago. It was then that they obtained their deep knowledge of agriculture and farming, which to this day is the reason they have survived so well on the desolate Bandiagara Escarpment. According to Dogon legend, the Nommo came from a planet orbiting around an invisible star obscured by Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. The Dogon have held this belief since antiquity. This may be of little interest to anybody, except it turns out that thereisSirius系统中的一个看不见的明星,该星仅在1978年被西方科学家发现。发现Sirius B的明星的发现,一颗小白矮星,一个简单的问题:如何没有天文设备的人知道这么多关于一个看不见的明星,自13世纪以来他们在仪式中庆祝的明星?

虽然在本土狗狗中有很多辩论有关它们的创造方式,但有一般同意,参观者来自“上方”,却拥有强大和先进的知识。到这一天,他们的大部分艺术涉及到可能来自星星的无尽神秘,所有人都与之相关的东西,无论原产地,种族或宗教。明星凝视者参考这个神秘。他们真正捕获了非洲艺术中最好的传统品质。杰杰嘉宾庆祝男女联盟,并以庆祝婚姻庆祝,但它是他们的天堂噱头,暗示所有人类在展望星星时姿势,让他们难以忘怀。
