Dogon DEGE Mask Mali

In Dogon culture, the monkey represents wild, uncivilized, dangerous, and antisocial behavior—the complete opposite of what one should expect from a Dogon. The Dogon use three types of monkey masks, identified only by color and shape. DEGE is the black monkey, while the white monkey is known as OMONO and the red monkey is known as KO.
