A Kran mask from the East region of the Ivory Coast, collected in the village Blolekin, with a large nose like protrusion that ends in a small hole where a mouth is supposed to be; another disk like protrusion in place of a forehead, the protrusion in the centre of the face is studded with brass ornamentations, small rectangular cut out eyes to give visibility to the wearer. The flat surface that is the cheeks is painted white. Signs of use. Provenenace Belo Mohamed Garba.

"The border between Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia cuts across several ethnic groups, including the Dan, Wee, Kran, and Grebo. In Dan society, dangerous immaterial forest spirits are translated into the forms of human face masks. Whether or not they are worn, such sculptures are spiritually charged. Male performers, gle-zo, experience a dream sent by the mask spirit that allows them to dance it. In performance, the masks are integrated into the hierarchical system that governs political and religious life." Lit: The Met.
