Beautiful wooden bird mask from the DAN people of Ivory Coast. The hornbill plays a central role in the ancient mythology of the DAN. Unlike for the northern DAN groups (Kono, Kpelle, Mano, etc…), who represent this mythical bird with a Ge Gon mask type (with a beak, a black beard, a textile hat with feathers), the DAN-MAU subgroup rather uses this type of long beak (known as “Koma-ba”, without beard) against witchcraft. Good condition with a beautiful patina. Shipping within 24 hours after the payment is received. Tracking number will be provided. Signature upon delivery. Fully insured. May as well be viewed and picked up in Vessem (NL).
