At festive gatherings with a strong theatrical element, it is customary to showcase Dan masks of varying designs, with women often taking center stage. One such mask, known as the Déanglé, is considered a "mocking" mask and embodies an ideal of kindness and physical attractiveness. It is typically crafted in honor of the village's young women or notable men. Additionally, it is employed during circumcision rituals.
