Description
500 - Séfar (Tassili-n'Ajjer). - Masks have always been problematic because they were primarily associated with hunting. In fact, in many forms, they seem to be linked to fertility through what we refer to with the umbrella term "sexuality." But here, it is a true mask with no connection to the animal and likely related to rites still unidentified in rock art. The masks shown in photographs 500 - and 501 belong to a series of three, the last being incomplete. Each mask is 0.50 m wide.
