This is the rating and price for Stylistic Wooden Dan Kran Mask
Description : This wooden mask is made by the Dan-Kran in Ivory Coast. It has very pronounced features, like the long, straight nose and the broad forehead protruding from the mask. Next to the nose are small circular holes for the eyes and beneath the nose is a thin rectangular chin. On top of the mask are five horns. In Dan society, the masks are used during dance performances in which the man wearing the mask, experiences a dream sent by the mask spirit. The masks are thus spiritually charged.
Dated to the Interbellum Origin: Ivory Coast
Dimensions approx: approx 43x17x14 cm
