Dan Mask African Tribal Art – Hand Carved Wooden Face Mask from Liberia-G6243

This hand-carved Dan mask comes from the traditional carving regions of Liberia in West Africa. Defined by its elongated form, recessed eye openings, and strong projecting mouth, the mask embodies the restrained yet powerful style for which Dan artists are widely recognized.

Carved from solid wood, the surface displays a deep natural patina developed over time, with visible wear that enhances its authenticity rather than detracting from it. The interior shows traditional carving marks and ventilation holes, reinforcing its origin as a functional ceremonial object rather than a modern decorative piece.

Dan masks historically served multiple roles within the community, including ceremonial performances and symbolic appearances connected to social order and cultural identity. Today, examples like this are highly valued as African wall art and collectible tribal sculptures.

Ideal for collectors of African art, ethnographic decor enthusiasts, or anyone seeking a genuine handmade object with cultural depth.
