Dan mask, carved from dense wood with a dark patina. It grips us with its primitive force and its formal spareness. Characterized by a domed forehead divided by a fine midline ridge, circular eyes deeply sunken, and a mouth slightly open with full lips, it embodies the classical and timeless aesthetic of the Dan people. Sold with a certificate of provenance from the Belgian gallery, without a base.

Masque Dan, sculpté dans un bois dense à la patine sombre.
Il nous saisit par sa force primitive et son dépouillement formel. Caractérisé par un front bombé divisé par une fine arête médiane, des yeux circulaires profondément évidés et une bouche entrouverte aux lèvres pulpeuses, il incarne l'esthétique classique et intemporelle de l'ethnie Dan.

Vendu avec certificat d'origine de la galerie belge, sans socle.
