Masque Dan from Sierra Leone, an Asiatique ancien mask with provenance from a private collection, acquired in 1912.
Description from the seller
Masque Dan, Liberia
Very old mask depicting a beautiful oval face, a prominent forehead accented by a frontal ridge that blends into the upturned nose with arched nostrils, a beak-shaped mouth, a fairly prominent chin. The features are sharp and the volumes rounded. It stands out for its exceptional size and for the intensity of the gaze piercing through the stretched eyes outlined by a hollowed brow ridge.
Beautiful deep patina, nuanced black-brown. Very fine old size, traces of wear on the back. Holes for fixing the headdress around the edge of the mask.
