Most likely originating from the Northern Dan, indicated by the oval
face, high forehead, raised eyebrows, protruding mouth with full lips
and large circular eyes. The circular eyes “permit unhindered vision
on the part of the wearer are characteristic of the racer mask (gunye
ge) and the fire mask (zakpei ge), two subordinate mask types used
by the northern Dan. The (gunye ge) hold weekly running contests
during the dry season. Originally these contests tested the prowess
of young warriors.” (Iris Hahner, et al. African Masks, 2007, p. 32).
