Masks are the most important art form of the Dan. Many of the other forms of sculpture are derived from the mask and what the mask
symbolizes. Numerically, more masks are created than any other form of sculpture. Spiritually, masks are perceived to embody the
most powerful of spirit forces. Socially, masks are the means of bringing control and order to village life. Masks provide the strongest
impressions of a young Dan person's earliest experience, as their importance is reinforced by their presence at all significant event.
