This antique Dan mask comes from the traditional carving heritage of the Côte d’Ivoire region, showing classic features admired by collectors of tribal mask art. The piece displays age-worn surfaces, deep patina, and a powerful expression that reflects the long-established spiritual use of Dan mask culture.
A broad textile hood surrounds the primary mask, heavily decorated with hand-sewn cowrie shells, pigments, and layered fabrics typical of high-status ceremonial mask regalia. The carved wooden mask itself shows the iconic Dan face shape, inset metal elements, and a time-softened finish. This combination of wood, cloth, and shells is characteristic of authentic Dan mask ensembles used for ritual identity, protection, and prestige. Stand not included.
