AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Côte d'Ivoire
Dan
Wood / cordlette / metal

Mask from the Dan 'course' tradition in Côte d'Ivoire, made of dense hardwood.

The Dan, known as Yacouba, live in the west of Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia, in a wooded region to the south and covered by savannah to the north. Before secret societies united them around the beginning of the century, the Dan lived in autonomous villages led by a chief elected for his wealth and social status. Today, the Leopard society plays a major role in the lives of the Dan.
