Dan-Guere (also Ngere, Kran or Wè), Ivory Coast, Liberia-39.7/16.2 CM
This interesting mask , extremely angular, ‘Cubist’ mask type is used with large costumes during important feasts of the Dan-Guere mask (also Wè or Dan-Kran) in order to challenge and ‘galvanise mask ’ the audience with earthy jokes and jumps. The present chimpanzee mask is an especially beautiful example of the ‘kaogle’ or ‘kagle’ type: The semicircular, bulging forehead above the deep-set, round eyes protrudes remarkably, as are also the angular cheeks and triangular-shaped nose. Under the nose, the chimpanzee’s round ‘snout’ protrudes even more to the front. The top of the the mask is surmounted by an ‘empowering’ iron bow.

This extraordinary mask displays remains of an original white colouring in the front, with very good shiny patina at the edges and exposed surfaces as a result of the long use of the mask. The patina on the inside confirms this impression.
