This is a Dan Mask from the tribal peo...ple of Liberia. The Dan believe that spirits, known as "Du, " live in the forests and manifest themselves to humans in masks and masquerades, instructing and sustaining the Dan in life. When during a dream a male was instructed by Du to dance a mask, he would commission a carver to make a mask for him.
