The refined facial features of this mask, from its rounded eyes and accentuated cheekbones to its protruding lips and open mouth, are reflections of female beauty in the Dan culture. The mask exhibits a beautiful smooth, shiny, dark chocolate-like surface. The patina on the back of the mask indicates its authenticity, age and use.
