Add bold West-African character to your space with this striking Dan ridged-forehead mask from the Liberia/Ivory Coast region. Carved from a single piece of hardwood, the oval face features deeply channelled forehead ridges symbolising wisdom, round vision ports for the dancer, and a dramatic indigo-blue chin that highlights the mask’s role as a messenger between forest spirits and village life. A weathered kaolin wash softens the wood, creating a tactile contrast of ivory, russet and midnight blue.
Dan masks like this appeared in Ge masquerades to enforce social order, resolve disputes and entertain with acrobatic dance—making each example a living link to centuries-old tradition and artistic excellence.
