Description : Drums were used in Dan tribal societies for rituals, education, and social control, as well as entertainment. The Dan believe that their world is split into the human domain, which is represented by the village and its people, and the spiritual domain, which is represented by the forest and its spirits. Masks were thought to embody the most powerful of spirit forces called gle. Each gle has its own character, and brought order and control to village life. When an individual wears a Dan mask, he becomes the gle of that mask, dancing to the beat of drums such as this and speaking in the language of the spirits.
