SIZE(CM): 40.2/13.5
Mask meets myth in this vibrant Dan bird spirit mask—its cobalt-blue and jungle-green halves merge into a talon-like beak that once sliced through festival smoke in West Africa’s rain-forest hamlets. Hand-carved from dense hardwood, the sculptor applied natural mineral and plant pigments, then incised triple cheek marks to signal status. A single cord hole at the temple held raffia costuming; serrated beak edges amplified avian symbolism during nocturnal dances.
