Description : Western Africa, Côte d’Ivoire, Dan peoples, ca. 1930s CE. This is a fine example of a passport mask, carried by people in Western Africa as copies of masks worn during performances, they were either sewn onto a piece of cloth and kept in a leather pouch, worn on the small of the back, or worn on the arm or neck to act as an amulet. They are called passport masks because they are worn by people when travelling. It is made of wood, with a slightly protruding nose and metal outlines around the eyes, the prominent forehead is typical of the style, but the little headband/hair detail is an interesting and unique one here.
