Red lips is a special feature of this Dan mask.
Among the Dan people, masks are owned by families and used by individual lineage members in contexts of social control, boy’s circumcision camps, and entertainment. Dan people have achieved special notoriety in the area for their entertainment festivals which were historically village ceremonies, but are today performed largely for honorable visitors or tourists. The Bagle masks are worn to entertain.
Small masks of this type were also worn on the sleeve or on a side.
A stand for this mask is available separately $140 + shipping
