AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Traditional mask coated with an almost black pigment as is often the case on traditional Dan masks. Also typical features, the rounded forehead, the eyes are gaping circular holes representing the keen eyesight of the wearer. Slightly open mouth with full lipstick.
The function of the Dan Deangle mask here was to feed, teach and entertain the children.
Material: wood, pigment, fibres.
Now in my private Dutch collection.
