- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $300**
West Africa, Ivory Coast/Liberia, Dan peoples, early 20th century CE. A striking hand-carved wooden mask featuring an expressive visage with huge, openwork eyes surrounded by heavy lids, a flat nose bearing incised nostrils, and an open mouth positioned in a hyperbolic frown with thick lips and applied wooden teeth. Sporting a short, incised goatee on his chin, the dramatic vizard is adorned with "W" shapes on both cheeks and a raised vertical band that divides his forehead in half. The surface of the piece is embellished with mocha-colored pigment, while his four tab-shaped teeth boast a natural hue of light tan. A slender rope is strung through a pair of apertures on the periphery allowing this piece to be strapped to one's face. Size: 7.75" W x 14.5" H (19.7 cm x 36.8 cm)
Provenance: ex-Phoenicia Holyland Antiquities, New York, New York, USA
