FARO, THE WATER GENIE PUPPET. Bozo people, Mali. Faro is a Sogo Bo puppet who appears in the form of a mermaid with long flowing hair and a forked fish tail. Her short arms resemble the lateral fins of a fish. She is outfitted in an elaborate, painted robe. The knob visible at the bottom of the puppet is a remainder of a rod that was used to support and activate this non-articulated figure. Collected in Gometago village near Segou, Mali in 2008. Segou was the center of the Sogo Bo puppet tradition and the site of many Sogo Bo puppet festivals until it was overrun by Islamist militants who have destroyed many of the original puppets such as this example. On custom base. Exhibited at the SMA Fathers Museum of African Art Tenafly NJ 2009 and the Free Library Gallery Philadelphia 2010. Wood, paint. H 40in. Published in “The Colorful Sogo Bo Puppets of Mali” p. 155, Fig 183. This book includes a history of puppetry, detailed photographs taken by the authors of the atelier of the famed Sogo Bo puppet maker YaYa Coulibaly, a large number of color photographs of Sogo Bo puppet performances, and photographs of the authors’ collection of Sogo Bo puppets.
