DAN, Ivory Coast, Liberia - Lot 157
DAN, Ivory Coast, Liberia Tankaglé mask Dance mask featuring a face with harmonious features, a forehead defined by a raised median ridge and pleated eyes that give it a beautiful, interiorized expression. Wood, old brown patina, white pigment on the eyes, old internal wear marks. 22 cm X 14 cm Provenance : Former Alfons Bermel collection, Strasbourg Tankaglé masks are the centerpieces of ceremonial and festive dances. This type of mask, worn during performances as part of social or initiation rites, often embodies ideal qualities such as wisdom, self-control or serenity. The white chroma on the eyes, combined with the internalized expression, symbolizes a link with the spiritual, reinforcing the mask's sacred and aesthetic dimension. These carefully crafted works testify to the excellence of Dan sculptors and their ability to translate cultural concepts into refined sculptural forms. Expert: Serge REYNES
