All Dan masks are sacred. They are not representatives of the bush spirits, but are these very spirits.
Aesthetic constants: a bulging forehead, a thin nose, a mouth carved with precision.
The Dan materialise the mask with a more or less idealised woman’s or child’s face.
This mask belongs to the Go Gé society and is exclusively worn for the announcement of the death of an important chief. Compared to other masks of this ethnic group, it is of a large size, its hairstyle is also more complex and more decorated. This is a true funerary mask: it is the most sacred mask of the ethnic group.
