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.

Exceptional old Dan Runners Mask from West Africa African Masks from Liberia
A beautiful older(mid 20th Century. Perhaps earlier) Runner's Dan mask called a GUNYEGE MASK. ON AUCT ION Round eyed masks like this one are used in racing games and ceremonies in which the masked spirit must compete against unmasked runners. If the wearer loses the race. It means the spirit has deserted that person and the mask goes to the winner, as a trophy to wear in the next race. Its wearer is pursued by an unmasked runner or runners and, if caught, the unmasked runner wears the mask and is, in turn, pursued. Historically, these races trained men to fight and the winner gained social recognition. Nowadays, the races are more like a game. It has a beautiful use patina- inside(breath patina- if you've ever put on a Halloween mask you know it gets very hot and steamy/sweaty inside) This patina is very difficult to reproduce/fake) ... moreand outside(wear and patina/shine consistent with a mask used ethnographically with sacrificial offers(cola. Betel nuts) being made on the top of the mask. Very dense wood- consistent with masks crafted before 1950(most likely post 1940) Holes in back are square- one of the true signs of older masks that tyically date prior to 1950 and small- also consistent with non drilled holes that are burned out with a metal rod or porcupine quills(this strengthens holes) In my gallery I have a pricetage of $720.00 which is a fair price- masks of this quality sell for much higher at auctions and tribal art shows. Good luck with the auction! The materials include Wood.

African Dan, We, Kran (Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire) Koagle,Monkey,Chimpanzee Mask
Koagle(Monkey. Chimpanzee) mask from the We or Kran people of the Dan region of Liberia or the Cote d' Ivoire. 6" H. Carved in traditional simple style with prominent forehead, sunken eyes, and protruding, open mouth. Masks of this type were once used to incite agressive behavior in men about to go into battle. They were later used. And are used today to to teach good behaviour as the animalistic behaviour of the dancers wearing these mask parallels the unpredictble actions of the ape while they dance and act wildly, chaotically, and irresponsibly. Mask appears to have some age and patina to it. And the African trader I bought it from said it was a slightly older, maybe a mid-late 20th century piece. gsrx_vers_474(GS 6.4.2(474)

The style of these forest living people differ from the sophisticated, gentle and often refined art of the neighboring savanna-dwellers.

African tribal Dan passport mask Cote d'Ivoire ethnographic art, home decor 15
The Dan tribe of the Ivory Coast called the miniature masks passport masks because of their size and variety of uses. They are masks of initiated adult men that would be carried with them or kept on personal shrines in their home. They mark the passage as an initiate into the men's secret society and his attaining a higher rank. At the suggestion of diviners small masks would be given to children to wear to ward off evil or cure illness. Men carried small“passport” masks in leather pouches when they traveled as a form of identification. This mask is thought to be around 50 years old and measures 5” X 2+”

Large African Dan Tribal Mask with Cowrie Shells 18 iches high
Please bear with me as I know little about African Tribal Masks but have been commissioned to sell this and many other items that belonged to my Father inlaw. From what I have learned this is of Dan Tribe origin with Cowrie Shells. This mask is 18" high. 11" wide and 10" deep. It is put together with some copper wire and woven string and rope. It appears that it was meant to hang from the ceiling or pole. Possibly a wall but it is almost a complete head rather than a mask. The black decorations at the end of the braids appear to be seed pods broken in half. The face is wood and the back is some sort of burlap. If you can school me on the specifics of this piece, please do. I really do not know what the value is. Thank you.

BEAUTIFUL OLD DAN PEOPLE PAINTED WOOD MASK- FROM LIBERIA
You are bidding on a Beautiful Old DAN PEOPLE wood mask. With painted eyes, from Liberia. Dan sculptors mainly produce masks which deal with virtually every 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" 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 neighbors and ... moreexchanged 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. The Dan world view holds that everything can be divided into two separate and clear categories. The primary dichotomy is between village and bush. In other words, things that have been controlled by man and things that have not. Crossing over the dividing line is dangerous business, and whenever it is done, whether to clear new fields or simply crossing the forest, the bush spirits must be appeased. In order to take part in village life, the bush spirits must take corporeal form. The Dan believe that all creatures have a spirit soul(du) which is imparted onto humans and animals from the creator god, Xra, through birth. One's du is immortal and is passed on after death to a new being. However, some du remain bodiless. They inhabit the forests as bush spirits and must establish a relationship with a person if they wish to be manifested and honored. Often the spirit will request the chosen person to dance the spirit, utilizing a mask to illustr

It might also be some kind of very hard dark gray clay( see close- ups of back) or else has clay added to the slate on the back? It has what looks like a think application of beeswax or( opaque dark golden wax) affixed to the back which is holding a hanging device made of thick aluminum? or some other metal. It's the color of aluminum. Some pieces on the side have broken off- please see photos. It's a very nicely done face. Almost delicate. It measures approx 3 7/8" wide x 6 1/4" long.

BACKGROUND Dan people live in the western part of the West Coast and into Liberia where the land is forested in the south and bordered by savannah in the north. They make their living from framing 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. Slaves were finally emancipated in the USA, after centuries of brutal oppression and exploitation. Some of these people came back to Africa and live in present day Liberia. Although they still practiced some of the traditions, they were a mixed group of people that practiced different customs.
