Vintage Hand Carved Wooden Tribal Dan-Kran also Dan-Ngere or Dan-Wé-23.2/13.6 CM
Mask dancers with such chimpanzee masks, hooked sticks, and wearing broad full-body costumes, perform at dance feasts in the villages of the Dan-Kran to provoke and ‘heat up’ the public with wild jumping and coarse jokes. The chimpanzee mask offered here is made of lightweight, light-coloured wood and dyed black. It shows the typical form of these ‘kagle masks’: the semicircular and flat forehead protruding forwards, with a diagonal line at the border, beneath this, deep-set, slit eyes (here with three holes each for a former metal framing), a broad nose between protruding cheekbones at the sides, and a large, open mouth with broad pouting lips. Peculiarities of this special object are the three holes beneath both eyes, intended for an earlier metal outline (now lost), the relief band originally coloured in white on the bridge of the nose, the red dyed tongue in the open mouth and the relief bands on the inside of the thick lips. Also the exterior sides of both cheeks display relief decoration
