The Dan mask are a farming people who inhabit the hinterland of the western mask and Liberia. They have a great mask of masked figures that represent spirits of the bush, and fulfill a variety of social, political, and religious functions. Although eleven individual types of masks can be distinguished by formal criteria, the types cannot be associated with specific functions because the meaning of the masks changes over time. Dan people have achieved notoriety in the area for their entertainment festivals which were historically village ceremonies, but are today performed largely for tourists. During these performances, masked performers dance on stilts. The Kaogle mask, created by the Kran subgroup, can be characterized by its arching cheekbones, triangular nose, and broad protruding forehead and mouth
