They emigrated west to northern Burkina Faso, where local histories describe them as   kibsi. Around 1490, they fled a region now known as the northern Mossi kingdom of Yatenga when it was invaded by Mossi calvary. They ended up in the Bandiagara cliffs region, safe from the approaching horsemen. Carbon-14 dating techniques used on excavated remains found in the cliffs suggest that there were inhabitants in the region before the arrival in the Dogon, dating back to the 10th century. Those Dogon who did not flee were incorporated into Mossi society and were known as the   nyonyose, or descendants of the first inhabitants. The dimension of the item is 22 inches high and 15 inches wide. Note: Pictures is exact representation of the item. This is made from hard wood and weighs between 2-4 pounds
