Dan Passport Mask Field Collected Charles Miller 1960

Item Details

Description

A carved wooden passport maskette with well handled surface. Among the Dan peoples of the Ivory Coast region anyone who has a spiritual connection with a mask, or whose family owns an important mask, is entitled to commission a miniature. Rubbed with oil and food, they are wrapped up and kept on the owner’s body or among his possessions and function as portable and personal forms that share the power and protective force of the full-sized mask. When a mask-owner is travelling, the miniature mask serves as an important means of identification outside his immediate community. This role that may have given it the commonly applied name of "passport mask." The mask measures 3.5 inches ( 4.25 inches tall on base) and will include a custom display stand. Provenance: Field collected by Charles D. Miller III, NYC. 1960Â’s *** Note the old collection numbers painted on back.
