SPIRITS-SPEAK
African wall decor Dan tribal mask with red white and blue split face carved features and symbolic teeth for expressive rustic display G5501
$105.80
This large Dan tribal mask features a dramatic split face in red, white, and blue with sharp sculptural details — a bold African wall decor piece.
Cultural/Design Context
Originating from the Dan people of Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia, such masks are traditionally used in ceremonial dances and spiritual events. The segmented color fields often symbolize opposing forces or dual roles such as light and shadow, human and spirit, peace and power. The geometric teeth and stylized contours reflect beliefs in protection, identity, and moral transformation.
Visual Details
This carved wooden mask has a striking color palette: a red and white split on one side and dark blue-black on the other. The long vertical nose divides the face sharply, with deeply set almond-shaped eyes and carefully incised cheek marks. One side features open triangular teeth, rendered in relief. The surface is smooth with age-worn texture, and the asymmetry gives it both tension and elegance.
How to Use/Display
Hang this dramatic piece on a contrasting wall to highlight its presence. Excellent for cultural interiors, collector’s walls, or moody, textured gallery arrangements.
