About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This is a decorative mask from the Dan, an ethnic group from West Africa, mainly living in Ivory Coast and Liberia. The object embodies the characteristic aesthetic of Dan sculpture, known for its refined and naturalistic facial features.
The mask is hand-carved from wood and has a height of 26 cm. The oval face is treated with a red pigment, while the back and lips are colored black. The eyes are accentuated with metal rings, a typical element that enhances the mask's spiritual gaze. The serene expression and symmetrical markings on the cheeks are characteristic of the 'Deangle' masks, which represent a benevolent female spirit.
The object is in good condition consistent with its age and previous use, which contributes to its authentic character. The surface shows a clear patina, with wear and pigment stains that bear witness to its history. The overall construction is solid and the shape is well preserved.
As a sculptural object, this mask makes a powerful statement in various interior styles. It fits perfectly into a collection of ethnographic art, a 'cabinet of curiosities' or as a unique accent on a sideboard, in a bookcase or on a console.
