more »Dan Passport masks are small masks, about 6-20 cm tall. These passport masks replicate the masks worn in performance. They serve as important means of identification, and someone in the community can commission them for preventative, protective or curative purposes. While they often depict females, they are not easily available to women. Women can commission a miniature to retain ties to their own family after they marry if their family has a strong connection to the masks.
This Dan mask has a long and narrow shape with closed (slit) eyes and an elaborate hairdo, indicated by carved cross-hatching and culminating in a blunt point. There is a single hole at the very top.
