Ge Gon Mask - Dan People - Liberia
Was:$795.00
Now Only:$495.00 
This mask has oval or slit eyes,
often framed in metal (tin), and
a large beak or snout with a
black beard. As the dancer
swoops and dances, the masker
carries in its hands horsetail
fly whisks that are waved gently
to imitate a large and graceful
bird. This mask represents a
hornbill bird and the dancer
would have sung songs and
proverbs to instruct the people in
the importance of this mythical
bird.
