The masks of the Dan ethnic group are among the most remarkable artistic expressions in West Africa. The Dan people live primarily in Ivory Coast and Liberia, where masks play a central role in social, spiritual, and cultural life. For the Dan, masks are not simply decorative objects; they are living embodiments of spirits that interact with the community. Each mask represents a specific spirit, known as a “gle,” which communicates moral values, social rules, and spiritual guidance.
Dan masks are typically carved from wood and often feature smooth, oval faces with narrow eyes and refined features.
