Above anything, they are most interesting because of the beliefs that govern their production.

They may also be used in pre-war ceremonies, for peace-making ceremonies, or simply for games and entertainment purposes. A common form of mask among the Dan people. The"passport" mask, as it is referred to by western cultures, was often carried by those traveling away from their village, and they were said to offer protection during such times. The masks could also be used to bear as a witness during an initiation ceremony. Often carried on the small of the back, these masks rarely exceeded ten inches in length.

Old Bena Lulua Mask with Headdress. Songye Yoruba Luba Baule Dan Lega Yaka
Rare old Bena Lulua Mask with headdress. The Lulua(luluwa) people are in fact a collection of small groups whose home bordered by the larger Luba state and the related and. With whom they share a very similar culture, history, and language. Lulua masks, artifacts and figures are hard to get nowadays as their people's art vanishes with time. From my collection here is a rare, used in the village and striking old mask from the Lulua. The raffia and wicker hood from the headdress still intact. In my educated guess I estimate this mask to be 40 to 50 years old. An unrestrained and overwhelming looking mask! It measures 17 inches from north to south, not including the headdress. Stand not included. Thanks for looking!

Dan Mask Deangle with Bells Liberia African SALE Was $490
Title, Dan Mask Deangle with Bells African Mask Liberia Ivory Coast Type of Object, Masks, Country of Origin, Cote d'Ivoire. Liberia, People, Dan, Materials, Wood. Brass Bells, iron wire, vegetal fibers, pigment Approximate Age, mid 20th century, Dimensions, Height: 13 inches. Width: 10 inches, Overall Condition, Good, Damage/Repair, paint worn away in places. Chips, Additional Information: This classic and well-used mask with all its adenda comes from the Dan people of Liberia. This Deangle mask is classic in its features with slightly open eyes emphasized with white pigment giving it a cool distant look. An open mouth and a vertical ridge running from the bridge of the nose to the forehead, representing tattooing. The face is surrounded by a complex costume designed to enhance her appearance and with the brass bells to give sound to ... moreher dance. The rolled raffia representes a ceremonial headdress. This mask shows signs of long use and ritual importance and a good age- Famous for their masks. The Dan believe that spirits, known as"Du, live in the forests and manifest themselves to humans in masks and masquerades, instructing and sustaining the Dan in life. When during a dream a male was instructed by Du to dance a mask, he would commission a carver to make a mask for him. Among the Dan, masks are grouped in an assortment of forms with different duties assigned to each. This mask. With its oval shape, shiny smooth black surface and finely carved features is called Deangle or Tangle. Thought to portray a female, it dances in a style thought to be feminine, with gliding steps and graceful movements. Deangle dances for all to see as"she" entertains and instructs the village in peaceful pursuits. Each Deangle mask reflects the skill of the artist and taste of the patron, and while local variations occur, there are long established criteria for Deangle that reflect a continuum in Dan cultural aesthetics and styles.

Power Mask – Dan people, Liberia

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Masks with such abilities were“empowered” in a similar manner as an nganga used secret magical ingredients within nkisi/ minkisi POWER OBJECTS. The powerful spirit beings and deities associated with these objects had specific names(as you and I have) And term"fetish" was never one of them. Other power masks/ figures were forbidden to be touched- deemed too powerful and sacred. So they were displayed within public or private altar-like settings while receiving libations during rituals resulting in encrusted patina.

Minor crimes were handled through forms of satire, ostracism and"whippings" as the concepts of jail or prison did not exist until the arrival of Arabs and Europeans. AFRICANS MEASURED SUCH TRADITIONAL ITEMS PRIMARILY BY THEIR EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST DESIRED RESULTS. RATHER THAN APPEARANCES. Pure aesthetic perspectives align more with European and Middle Eastern views towards African works- Often centered around conflicting thoughts of intrigue. Desire and denigrating mischief.

African Tribal Collection - Guere gere Warrior Mask Dan Cote D'ivoire
Description Authentic African antiquities& artefacts for discerning collectors(Most pieces sourced by us direct from remote villages) THE AFRICAN TRIBAL COLLECTION Item Number: MA3797 Originates from: Cote d'Ivoire Tribe: Dan Guere Materials: Wood, Condition: Weathered; fair condition for its age. Approximate age: Mid 20C 50 years old Measurements cm: Height 31 Width 34 An amazing Guere mask- found in a village near Lake Buyo in the east of Cote D'ivoire. Bought from the village chief and offered for sale on behalf of the village. These masks were/ are still used in funeral ceremonies and interogations. The We/ Wee/ Guere/ Gere/ N'gere/ Ngere people live south and south-East of the more famous Dan people in Cote d'Ivoire/ Ivory Coast/ Elfenbeinkuste. They share many aspects of culture with the neighbouring Dan. They created ... moremasks that were used during festivities. Funerals, rituals, wars, and that look rather scary and monstrous. Modern ethnology puts the Wobe and Guere together under the name We. Despite the fact that the people themselves use the old names. The We population is estimated at 100,000. Rice, yams, taro, manioc, maize, and bananas are the primary crops grown. Farming and hunting have been largely replaced by laboring in the diamond camps or working at the rubber plantations. Confederations govern both ethnic groups- the largest is the warrior confederation which is led by a military chief, who also acts as a civil authority. The family units also play an important role in We social life. The art of Guere and Wobe people is stylistically connected and both groups are often collectively referred to as We. Meaning"men who easily forgive. Like the Dan, the We use a wide variety of masquerades, which hold important regulatory position within their small, egalitarian communities. Masks are owned by families and used by individual lineage members in contexts of social control, boy’s circumcision camps, and entertainment. Most We masks were created to frighten with the gaping jaws

BACKGROUND Dan people. Who are also known by the name Yacuba, live in the western part of the West Coast and into Liberia where the land is forested in the south and bordered by a savannah in the north. The 350,000 Dan people make their living from farming cocoa, rice and manioc. Before unifying secret societies were set up at the turn of the century, each Dan village was an autonomous socio-political unit governed by a chief elected on the base of his wealth and social position. Today, the leopard society acts as a major regulator of Dan life and initiates young men during their isolated periods of three to four months in the forest. Dan people have achieved notoriety in the area for their entertainment festivals which were historically village ceremonies, but are today performed largely for tourists. During these festivals, masked performers dance on stilts. The Gagon mask has the same function as the Dugle and is predominantly found in the northern Dan territory. It has a high-domed forehead, slit eyes, a long, beak-like nose often with black monkey fur attached underneath, and a long jaw. Painter Fred Uhlman words- Most

Dan Mask West Africa (2nd half of 20th Century)
This mask is characterized by an elongated and protruding nose and a large headdress with feathers and two small circle mirrors. The mask is bearded with goat hair. And adorned with shells. There are traces of encrustation on the brown patina. The considerable reputation of the Dan in the artworld is based almost entirely on their output of beautiful and expressive masks. The masks are fairly uniform in style. And most often are found in two sizes: large face masks used for dances and festivals, and tiny"passport" masks kept as personal talismans. The Dan also produce fine, figural"hospitality" spoons, and elaborate wooden"mancala" games, a popular pastime throughout much of West Africa. Though somewhat unexpected, the Dan produce very little in the way of formal statuary, and the few statues that exist are usually ... morefemale and thought to represent"favorite" wives. Utilitarian objects are either rare, or not distinct enough to attribute. The Dan, historically a warrior people, are thought to have been in the Ivory Coast area for perhaps two thousand years, though the evidence for this is scant. It is known however that the Dan were heavily preyed upon by slave raiders in the 17/18th century, and the creation of Liberia in 1847 was marked by the repatriation of large numbers of them. These returning ex-slaves eventually outnumbered their relatives in the Ivory Coast, and that is still the case today. The Dan have no centralized government, and each village is relatively autonomous. The ability to accumulate wealth and prove one's ability are highly prized by Dan society, and the belief is known as the"tin. This social system still exists today, though the ways to gain wealth and prestige have changed, from prowess in agriculture and hunting, to success in the diamond mines and rubber plantations.

Collectable / Rare Dan Kpelle Mask on Custom Stand, Liberia / Ivory Coast
FOR SERIOUS COLLECTORS. This auction is for a rare Dan Kpelle mask from Liberia/ Guinea. The mask was obtained through a trade. Previous owner of the mask is a Harvard University professor who obtained the mask back in 1987. The Dan masks were used during initiation ceremonies. These types of masks are made and worn exclusively. By male dancers. Dan masks are unique and only carved by initiated members of the male Poro society. The mask served to protect the young initiate against destructive or evil forces from the time of initiation, till he one day enters the spirit realm. The Dan people classify surroundings into two realms- the village with all inhabitants(human realm) And the forest(bon) spirit realm) where the spirits reign, and wild animals roam freely. The forest is regarded as sacred. And crossing the boundary between the human ... morerealm, and the spirit realm, may only be done by saying a prayer and wearing materials from both worlds. This creates a link between the two realms. The mask depicted above is a perfect example of the materials. Once the male mask dancer dons the mask. He is transformed into a spirit. The mask dancer goes into a deep trance during rituals and brings forth messages of wisdom from his forebears.

This saucer shape shadows the incised eyes. Inside the bowl there are encrusted materials and feathers. The checks are pointed and there is a circular opening under the beak which is obviously the mouth of the mask. Masks with hornbill beak like this were found among the Dan and also among many other ethnic groups living in their neighborhood.

Iv. Coast: Tribal used & Old African mask from the Dan
Finely crafted african Tribal used initiation mask from the Dan. Ivory Coast. Hand carved from a single piece of wood. With color pigments and colored bead necklaces. Back construction from basketwork. Height: 36 cm. The 350.000 Dan live mostly in the western part of the Côte Iv. and into Liberia, where the land is forested in the south and bordered by a savannah in the north. They make their living from farming cocoa, coffee, rice and manioc. They also live off game and fish. The Dan have the reputation of being fierce warriors, always battling their neighbors, the We, the Guro, and the Mano. From a cultural viewpoint the Dan are close to the We populations situated in forest regions of the south, and against whom they have waged innumerable wars. Lacking a central authority. The various groups had neither a political institution nor ... moreunity. The village is under authority of a chief and a council of elders. In addition, there were male associations that attempted to bring about a socio-political unity, reinforcing rules of behavior, demanding absolute loyalty and obedience from members, and giving an initiatory education to the young. These societies called upon the tutelary spirits of the bush. The most powerful, even today, is the secret society of the leopard, the go. Which, without having fully achieved its stabilizing and unifying goal, nevertheless grows from one year to the next. The leopard society acts as a major regulator of Dan life and initiates young men during their isolated periods of three to four months in the forest. In order to attain adult status, all the boys and girls of the same age-group undergo an initiation that includes, in addition to specific teaching, circumcision for the former and clitoridectomy for the latter. To underline the transitional aspect of this trial, it takes place in the world of the bush– the realm inhabited by spirits who, like the ancestors, can play a mediating role between humans and supreme being Zran.

Articulated ... morejutting jaw, wide triangular nose, and"bug eyes. The Wee have been variously known in the past as the Kran in Liberia and the Nguere or Guere in Ivory Coast. Though close in terms of geography and culture to the well-known Dan people in the region they are separated by language(Wee are Kru speakers and the Dan are Mande speakers) Both the Dan and Wee have dynamic masking associations known as Poro that initiate the young and regulate society. Poro is an exclusively restricted manâs society, however masks between the Wee and their Dan neighbors are divided into male and female categories based on their form and details. Female masks are rounded or oval, narrow eyes and finely delicate non-challenging features, whereas the male mask is larger in size, grosser in proportions, with an open and challenging mouth with teeth, tube-like eyes, fur and raffia. The exaggerated features of this mask, though vaguely human, refer to forces in the bush whose energy and powers add to the authority of the spirit represented. Whereas female masks appear to entertain, male masks exercise social control, punishing wrongdoers, settling disputes, declaring wars and proclaiming peace. In th

An active and aggressive mask that serves a number of functions. It is a âfirewatchâ mask that insures proper use of cooking fires by women and will throw sticks and things about and knock over cookpots with their meals into the fires and may even beat the women if they were careless in their use of fire.

The Dan. Historically a warrior people, are thought to have been in the Ivory Coast area for perhaps two thousand years, though the evidence for this is scant. It is known however that the Dan were heavily preyed upon by slave raiders in the 17/18th century, and the creation of Liberia in 1847 was marked by the repatriation of large numbers of them. These returning ex-slaves eventually outnumbered their relatives in the Ivory Coast, and that is still the case today. The Dan have no centralized government, and each village is

Hand Carved African Passport Mask Dan Tribe
Dan or Dann Tribal Passport Mask Dan masks have a typically high forehead. Pouting mouth and pointed chin. They may also have scarification marks like the line that splits the forehead and nose. Dan masks are carved in wood and stained with a brown dye. Dan masks are sacred objects. Dan masks are used for protection and as a channel for communication with the spirit world. The Dan carry small'passport masks' for personal protection when they are living away from home. These give them a'passport' thru the lands of other tribes. This mask measures 8 inches by 2 inches. Making it easy to carry in clothing for their travel needs. Location: Liberia. Côte d'Ivoire, Africa Population: 350.000 Language: Dan(Mande) Neighboring Peoples: Guere. Guro, Mano Types of Art: Dan sculptors mainly produce masks which deal with virtually ... moreevery element in Dan society. Including education, competition, war, peace, social regulation, and of course, entertainment. They also produce stylized wooden spoons and intricate game boards used for"mancala" a common game of"count and capture" History: Oral traditions describe the Dan society of the 19th century as lacking any central governing power. Social cohesion was fostered by a shared language and a preference for intermarriage. Generally. Each village had a headman who had earned his position of advantage in the community through hard work in the fields and through luck as a hunter. They usually surrounded themselves with young warriors for protection from invading neighbours and exchanged gifts with other chiefs in order to heighten their own prestige. Out of this custom was born the basic tradition of tin among the Dan, which was based on displaying one's success in order to build a good reputation and name. Economy: The African tradition of tin working is still an essential part of the Dan economy today. Young people strive to make a name for themselves by lavishly spending at community feasts to demonstrate their wealth. Although farming
