DAN STYLE
Maou Mask 583
25" high
$300
SOLD
The Dan Maou people live in the northwestern part of the Dan region. Their masks are distinguished by a long beak-like form at the chin or mouth. Masks like these were feared by the general population as they served a judiciary function in denouncing spell-casters.
This mask shows no evidence of age or use and was probably made to be sold.
