Máscara casco (soccled), máscara Dan de madera de Côte d'Ivoire, siglo XX tardío; Procedencia: Galería, Alemania; peso 2800 g, dimensiones 27 × 22 × 21 cm, incluida base.
Descripción del vendedor
The Dan style is quite evident, with round eyes and large bulging mouth
Good condition with a beautiful aged patina on the wood. Contains traces of libations on top of the mask.
The border between Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia cuts across several ethnic groups, including the Dan, Wee, Kran, and Grebo. In Dan society, dangerous immaterial forest spirits are translated into the forms of human face masks. Whether or not they are worn, such sculptures are spiritually charged. Male performers, gle-zo, experience a dream sent by the mask spirit that allows them to dance it. In performance, the masks are integrated into the hierarchical system that governs political and religious life.
Dan masks have been documented as the embodiment of at least a dozen artistic personalities.
Provenance: Gallery, Germany. Including custom made stand. Weight: 2800 (with stand).
