    African mask antiques, large African mask Dan Zapkei or Gunye ge mask-34/19.5 CM
    Among the most emblematic African masks , this sculpture stood out among the eleven types of dan masks (Fisher and Himmelheber) thanks to its circularly hollowed out eyes to allow better vision. These masks called gunye ge "racing masks", with an oval face and a slightly concave center, were produced among the northern Dan and intended to participate in racing events. The zapkei intervene in order to prevent the spread of domestic fires during the dry seasons. Armed with a wand, they threaten reckless women and confiscate an object as a fine. Some of these masksgo ge , provided with a particularly sophisticated braided headdress, were only used exceptionally.
