Dogon beads were traditionally crafted through a meticulous process that combined natural materials, handcrafting skills, and the Dogon people's deep connection to their environment Each bead shows the talent and craftsmanship of African artists.
The Dogon people have a rich cosmology, with a profound understanding of the stars, planets, and the universe. Dogon art, including beads, often reflects this connection to the cosmos.
The Dogon people used locally sourced natural materials for their beads, often clay, stone, bone, or sometimes metals. The choice of material was influenced by what was abundant in their environment and what was suitable for shaping into beads.
