Both immediately recognizable and highly collectible. They can range from very simple to extremely ornate, are finely carved, and one could almost say archetypical of the'African Mask' ideal. Above anything, they are most interesting because of the beliefs that govern their production. The masks are considered highly sacred in the Dan culture, whose distribution ranges from Cote d'Ivoire to Liberia to Guinea. In many African cultures, the masks are representative of spirits, but in the case of the Dan, the mask IS the spirit, a tangible embodiment of the spirit itself. There are a variety of Dan face masks, each of which has a different function. They may be an intermediary, who acts between the village and the forest in initiation camps, wherein adolescent boys are segregated from the general population, or may act to work against brush fires during the dry season. 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. This passport mask is a very common form, featuring the typical bulged forehead, narrowed eyes, pursed lips, and dark patina. Its exterior displays very few tooling marks, and the interior is, as is usually the case, more roughly rendered. It s

Mask – Dan (Yacouba / Krahn / Kru / Wee) people, Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire.
Mask– Dan(Yacouba/ Krahn/ Kru/ Wee) people. Liberia and Côte d'Ivoire. The name Krahn is derived from Gio Kuare. Gio(Dan) people of Ivory Coast and Liberia refers to people living across the Cestos. The most reliable story of the Krahn is that Old Man Krai. Who ruled some villages, sent some porters to the District Commissioner in Tappita. When the Commissioner asked who they are, they replied"We are Krai people. From then, they became Krahn people. The present Krahn people are result of intermarriages. Many Krahn believe that objects have spirits or souls. An example of this is seen in several Kru artifacts found in 1979 near Maryland County. Liberia. Although scholars are not certain of their origins and intended use. Some sources believe that the Kru viewed certain object carvings as living entities typically found in small ... morebodies of water such as rivers and creeks, these artifacts would have been viewed as water spirits or‘Gods of water. Additionally. It is believed that powers associated with these beings included healing, fertility, and the ability to end conflict and create new villages. The Wee of Côte d'Ivoire. Believe that the natural world is made up of spirits, referred to as“bush spirits. These spirits are part of the world untouched by man, and the Wee believe keeping these spirits appeased is vital to the health of the tribe. It is also believed that the bush spirits take corporeal form in order to interact with the villagers and participate in ceremonies. The Wee feel that the bush spirits can communicate with humans through dreams. Often demanding ceremonial masks be created in their honor in either male or female forms. These masks then serve a variety of functions ranging from ritual ceremonies. Forms of entertainment, and focal points in moral stories to judicial and political controls. All Wee masks are believed to deflect sorcery attacks. And many undergo shifts in their primary function during their lifetime. Masks such as this one are integral at the agricultural Fes

Liberia: Extremly Rare Authentic Large Tribal used African mask from the Dan.
Liberia: Extremly Rare Authentic Large Tribal used African mask from the Dan. Hand carved from a single piece of colorful painted wood. Leather, old shells, many feathers. Height: 96 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 unity. The village is under ... moreauthority 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.

They share many aspects of culture with the neighbouring Dan. They created masks that were used during festivities, funerals, rituals, wars, and that look rather scary and monstrous.

AFRICAN CEREMONIAL DAN FACE MASK - LIBERIA/IVORY COAST COWRIE SHELL
African Dan Ceremonial Face Mask w/Cowrie Shells/ Bells(one bell inside broke) 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 realm, 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. ... moreThe 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. The messages is inaudible and in uncontrollable utters, a wise man accompany the dancer during the ritual and translates the messages. The messages are often words of great wisdom, prescribing a way of life that will lead to longevity, health and prosperity. See photos for part of description Measures approx.12" tall

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 Dan Maou people live in the northwestern part of the Dan region. Their masks are distinguished by a long beak-like form at the chin or mouth. Masks like these were feared by the general population as they served a judiciary function in denouncing spell-casters.
