Description:
Large, elegant and well used Dan female mask, this beautiful old Dan mask with its languid, heavy features, has obvious indications of extensive use and wear notes: the hairstyle, built up from plaited strips of indigo-dyed native cotton cloth is a regional style marker. The mask once had sheet metal ovals around each eye, but these have been lost, although the marks where they were affixed are visible. Provenance: Purchased Christensen collection, then private collection, Southern Highlands.
