DAN WARRIOR MASK (IVORY COAST) AFRICAN FETISH This is a DAN MASK actually from the Ivory Coast, but being sold from the FAIRTRADEGHANA shop in the village of 'Kokrobite', Accra. It has been 'donated' by a local chief from 'his own' collection, to help promote our new business venture selling local products abroad which will in turn help the community. (PAINTINGS OF 'KOKROBITE' SCENES CAN BE SEEN IN MY OTHER LISTINGS ON Ebay) The DAN tribe traditionally live in the Ivory Coast and Liberia, which are adjacent to Ghana in West Africa, and there are strong historic links with tribes in Ghana. This mask was possibly worn by the female of the tribe, as depicted by the slit eyes, half open mouth and 2 rows of cowrie shells adorning the top of the mask which normally typifies females. The mask is in good condition but has some wear and minor drying cracks etc. We do not know the actual age of this mask. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. WOODEN MASK - Approximately 14 inches (35 cm) tall by 8 inches (20cm) at widest point , Hair length max approx 15 inches (38cm) and weighs around 1 to 2 lbs (0.5kg+). _______________________________________________________ AKWAABA (WELCOME) TO 'FAIRTRADEGHANA.com' - ARTS & CRAFTS - Please find out more about us and GHANA at www.fairtradeghana.com ** WORLDWIDE POSTAGE AVAILABLE - Email me for rates to your country... *****Delivery of this item is 2 to 3 weeks***** PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO BROWSE THROUGH MY OTHER LISTINGS...
