Scope and Contents
The photograph depicts Dolo, the blacksmith and wood carver of Ogol du Haut village, with his son Samuel, outside a gina [ginna, (gin'na)]-lineage head's house. He carries a traditional adze to make a Kanaga mask. During his trip to Mali, Elisofon visited the Dogon people in Sanga (Sangha), a group of thirteen villages lying east of Bandiagara at the top of an escarpment. The most important villages are Ogol-du-Haut and Ogol-du-Bas. This photograph was taken when Eliot Elisofon traveled to Africa from March 17, 1970 to July 17, 1970.
