African Dan mask with geometric carvings and red disc details, ideal for tribal wall decor collectors and ethnic art lovers.
Cultural/Design Context
Originating from the Dan people of Côte d’Ivoire and Liberia, this type of mask was traditionally used in ceremonial dances and spiritual rites. Dan masks are known for their elongated faces, bold minimalism, and symbolic surface patterns. They often represent powerful forest spirits and are worn to maintain balance and order in the community.
Visual Details
This vertical Dan mask features a rich dark brown patina with a long protruding nose, narrow slits for the eyes, and deep incised cheek lines. Across the forehead is a carved band with triangular motifs, and two circular red disc ornaments crown the head—possibly symbolizing vision or protection. The minimal facial form intensifies the mask's spiritual and meditative presence.
How to Use/Display
An excellent wall-mounted accent for modern bohemian spaces, cultural galleries, or Afrocentric interiors. Lightweight and ready to hang, it complements wood tones and natural textures beautifully.
