In West African Dan cultures, certain sculpted forms held a significant place in social and communal expressions.
This carved wooden mask, characterized by a slender shape, delicately worked features, and a dark patina, incorporates these characteristic formal codes.
The sobriety of the lines and the balance of the volumes reflect a quest for visual harmony, in a contemporary interpretation of these forms.
