GHANA - AFRICA 110 $+Free Shipping DHL Express 150 $fire witch Mask - DAN - Ivory Coast Sold without the mask stand You can purchase a mask stand separately Description For the DAN, masks are the mask spirits of the bush and not their representatives. Very numerous regarding their diversity, DAN masks are called Guégo masks, “head of the mask”. The common term Glé (Glue in the Southwest) refers to the whole character. Glé embodies the spiritual force that inhabits the forest and desires to participate to the life of the village. The mask carrier and the owner of the mask are very high ranked within the hierarchy of the village. Their appearance in masked festivities resolves conflicts that could not be solved by the chief of the village. Those who do not respect the masks commit a serious crime against their society and their religion. The traditional African Dan masks have rather constant stylistic characteristics, with however variations according to the regions. However, we find a rather flat face, eyes either half-closed or circular, wide open as it is seen on this mask, a convex forehead, and small lips slouching protuberant. 
The height of the mask : 27.2 cm
The width of the mask : 18 cm
