Good condition overall. Two thin cracks, one on the proper left side of the mask the other one on the proper right side of the forehead. The edges of both eyes are a little bit broken but very well patinated. Exceptionally glossy brown patina. At the rear label from the Vérité Collection.

Exaltant sous des traits naturalistes une beauté idéalisée, ce masque Dan ayant appartenu à la collection Pierre et Claude Vérité est le remarquable témoin d’un des corpus les plus renommés de l’art africain. La pureté et l’élégance des volumes du visage piriforme, propres au style Dan septentrional, sont sublimées par la profonde patine noire. « Les yeux ronds creusés dans le bois pour permettre une bonne vision au porteur du masque sont caractéristiques des gunye ge (‘masques de course’) et des zapkei ge (‘masques gardiens du feu’) » (Hahner-Herzog, Kecskési et Vajda, L’autre Visage. Masques Africains de la collection Barbier-Mueller, 1997, p. 100).
