Descripción : Africa, Liberia, ca. 20th century CE. This is a symmetrical oval mask with small slit eyes, a triangular chin, and open protruding lips displaying two metal teeth. The mask has a beard made of feathers and stitched on to a rough woven cloth. There is some applied fetish material around the top of the head. The Dan people, who live in Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire, produce masks for nearly every element or occasion of their society, including education, war, peace, and entertainment. In Mande, the Dan language, masks are referred to as gle or ge, which is also the term for the supernatural beings who live outside the village and who can inhabit the masks during ritual practice.
