Una máscara Dan de madera de Liberia, datada entre 1900 y 1910, mide 21 × 13 cm y se presenta con un soporte; conserva restos de pigmento blanco alrededor de los ojos y su procedencia es Michael Oliver, NY.
Descripción del vendedor
Beautifully carved example of graceful, naturalistic form embodying Dan idealized features. The serene face is modeled with narrow slit eye openings, carefully detailed relief ears, a subtle median ridge along the high, smoothly contoured forehead, full, well-defined lips, and a delicately pointed chin.
Traces of white pigment remain around the eyes.
Description:
Rich medium to dark brown patina. The upper edge has sustained an old loss and was thoughtfully re-perforated to permit continued attachment and ceremonial use, a telling indication that the mask remained valued and in active service despite the damage. Areas of encrusted deposits and surface wear further attest to its age and prolonged use.
Provenance: Michael Oliver, NY
