Carved from a single piece of soft wood, this oval face mask by a Dan carver of Côte d'Ivoire or Liberia features a wide forehead, large circular eye holes, and nose and mouth in high relief. The wood has been darkened and appears black with a shiny surface. Around the eyes are residue of an unknown material that might have once decorated the openings. The elliptical mouth exhibits a narrow slit separating the mask’s lips. The mask's rims are pierced with irregular holes for attaching the rest of the costume. .
