    ABOUT TRIBE/MASK
    The Dan are a farming people who inhabit the hinterland of western Ivory Coast and Liberia. They have a great number of masked figures who represent spirits of the bush, and fulfill a variety of social, political and religious functions. Dan masks are typically characterized by round eyes (majority of masks), oval shape build, smooth foreheads and a mouth that is usually slightly open. Carved out of wood and decorated with rolled woven cloth, with cowrie shells and Guinea fowl feathers. The Dan people, also known as the Yacuba, have the reputation of being fierce warriors that believe the world is animated by a force called Du.
