Beautiful and very expressive DAN mask. The sculptor mastered well the volumes, in order to create a living and powerful piece.
The zakpai mask can be recognized by it metal eyes with red cloth over it.
These kind of masks act against bush fires during the dry season. Good condition with a great patina of age.
