Old African Dan Mask - Côte d'Ivoire - College Professor's Estate

Description

Old African Dan Mask - Côte d'Ivoire - Professor's Estate!
Old and antique wooden mask from the Dan Tribe of Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia.  This was part of a group of old African masks, from a College Professor's estate. Very expressive mask, with squinted eyes and mouth that appears to be speaking. Thickly carved from a heavy, dense wood. Definitely shows it's age, with several old, large chips on the rear.  Previous owner's collection number
(O47-E)
on rear of mask
(see last photo).
Old loss on rear, upper part of mask does not detract.
Please examine photos carefully for condition.
Purchased at auction years ago, this is part of my personal collection I am selling to downsize. This mask has been packed away, and it's time for someone else to enjoy his beauty.
