This arresting mask is from the Dan people of Liberia/Ivory Coast. Even
with a very eroded surface, the finely carved features are apparent. Tar
or pitch still clings in places, especially on the upper lip, and
remnants of hair plugs dot the lower perimeter of the face. Please see
multiple views below; high resolution photos are available. Ex Private
collection, Paris; ex Adrian Schlag, Brussels; ex Alan Varela, San
Francisco. #9118 Price upon request.
