    Dan Gägon (Bird Mask) -22.5/7.9 CM
    The Dan mask believe that ‘in’ and behind’ this world mask exists an essential force called dü which is usually described as a power mask that is present in all aspects of the world. Dü manifests itself as invisible mask which may take the form of men or animals. There are some dü spirits which in order to realise a physical nature, must rely on men to create a tangible form for them as masks or figures. The dü causes a man to dream of it and then instructs him in the means through which it must be materialised. One type of dü mask prefers to be manifested as a masquerade - these are the mask . All spirit masks are described as ge by the northern Dan and as gle or glö by the southern & western Dan (meaning ‘mysterious being’). These masquerade spirits wish to help men and to advise them, revealing their desire through dreams. The masquerade does not merely represent a spirit, it IS that spirit.
