Description
A VERY RARE ANTIQUE WOOD MASK FROM THE DAN PEOPLES, Cote D'Ivoire, West Africa. A very finely carved example with raised facial scars along the sides and a realistic smiling face, accented with red and white paints around the eyes and lips. Note the lines in the face, carved with such a realism seldom found on a Dan mask, truly an elegant example, perhaps even a portrait style mask.The mask itself measures 8 3/4 inches x 6 inches, and measures 15.25 inches tall on professional custom metal display stand. Ex New York City Private Collection.
