Dan-Guéré Mask, fist half of the XXth century

About the Item

The Dan, a sub-tribe of the Dan-Nguere, inhabit eastern Liberia, Guinea Conakry, and Côte d'Ivoire. Their social and spiritual structure is based on the secret society Poro, which means "sierra" in the Temne language. The distinction between Guéré and Wobé did not exist before colonization. In oral tradition, these two groups formed a single population called Wé. This differentiation was introduced by colonial administration. Dan-Nguere masks are diverse and used for various purposes depending on the region. They can be divided into two main types. Female masks emphasize the beauty of the face with delicate features and a shiny patina. They serve to resolve conflicts and protect newborns. Male masks, more realistic and sometimes adorned with animal details, embody the vital force "du," sent by the creator Zlan. These masks are venerated and used for protection against illnesses, presiding over various social and spiritual events, highlighting the significance of masks in Dan culture. Côte d'Ivoire.
