AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Tous les masques Dan sont sacrés. Ils ne représentent pas les esprits de la brousse mais sont ces esprits.
Constantes esthétiques : un front bombé, un nez fin, une bouche dessinée avec précision.
Les Dan matérialisent le masque par un visage de femme ou d'enfant plus ou moins idéalisé.
Ce masque appartient à la société Go Gé et est porté uniquement pour annoncer la mort d'un chef important.Il est de grande taille par rapport aux autres masques de l'ethnie et sa coiffure est la plus complexe et la plus ornementée. C'est le masque funéraire par excellence: il est le masque le plus sacré de l'ethnie.

envoi en recommandé avec suivi et vendu sans socle.
