“Idol in the Shape of a Woman”. Architecture and Art of Mali in Written Sources of the 11th–19th Centuries
Medieval Arabic-language written sources on the history and ethnography of Africa contain some information on architecture and fine arts.

Thus, al-Bakri left a short description of the ‘city of Ghana’, which contains important information on construction techniques. The same technique is used in modern traditional architecture of Mali.

The Image of African Art in Europe. The First Collections and the Reliability of Sources

According to most critics and art historians, African sculptures and masks served as an inspiration for Picasso, Braque, Léger a…
The Traditional Culture of Dogon (Mali) in the Context of Islamic Civilization
The article examines the phenomenon of the penetration of elements of pre-Islamic decor into the architecture of mosques in the Dogon Country (Mali).
