Dan Kran Mask - Liberia

A powerful and authentic kran mask made of hard wood, with brown patina and pigments. An unusually old mask of the Dan-Kran, depicting a monkey (chimpanzee or guenon).

The present Kagle maskâ is an especially old type, as suggested by the rectangular (rather than round) shape of the fastening eyelets for the mask costume along the edge of the mask, as well as by its tongue, which is made of red dyed terracotta. It also features black-dyed terracotta under the eyes and on the top of the head. An

Made of 100% wood, pigments.
