Dan Deangle mask
€335.00
Simplicity and elegance characterize this classic yet high-quality Dan African mask. Its traditional ovoid shape features delicate details: a rimmed mouth, a fine nose, and sculpted eyebrows.
This tribal art mask from Ivory Coast is majestically enhanced by the presence of a metal ring around the eyes and prominent teeth.
In Dan culture, masks were worn on various occasions, including male and female initiations, funeral rites, village festivities and entertainment, legal ceremonies, and agricultural celebrations.
