Catalogue Note
Ce cimier-antilope, dansé par paires au sein de la société ci-wara pour célébrer l'union mythique du soleil et de la terre, se distingue par la remarquable dynamique des formes - chacune résumée à ses lignes essentielles - alternant dans un rythme parfaitement maîtrisé, courbes tendues et brèves ruptures de plans. A l'élégance du schéma horizontal répond la très grande sensibilité de la tête, ornée de motifs délicatement gravés. Voir Colleyn (2002, p. 227, n° 219) pour un cimier de style comparable dans la collection Jérôme et Ellen Stern, provenant de la région de Bamako ou du Beledugu.
