{"product_id":"authentic-dan-guere-tribal-hunter-mask-1","title":"Authentic Dan Guere Tribal Hunter Mask","description":"This exceptional Dan Guere tribal hunter mask is a powerful ritual object originating from the regions spanning Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, and Liberia. Dating back to the approximate age of the end of the XIXth century, this piece represents a profound historical and spiritual legacy. Dan Guere masks originate from the Dan and Guere (or Wé) peoples, serving as spiritual receptacles for forest spirits used in sacred rituals like funerals and initiations.\u003cbr\u003eThe unique artistic fusion of these cultures is clearly visible in the craftsmanship. The Dan influence brings a smooth, concave facial structure, while the Guéré (Wé) heritage contributes expressionistic, bold features. Hand-carved from wood and traditionally adorned with pigments, metals, and natural fibers, this mask historically served a vital role in hunter traditions and community rituals, bridging the physical and supernatural worlds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 42 cm\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Age: End of the XIXth Century\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea, Liberia\u003cbr\u003eEthnic Group: Dan \/ Guere (Wé)\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Hand-carved wood enhanced with traditional pigments, metals, and natural fibers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout Alobalo\u003cbr\u003eAlobalo is a dedicated family venture with over 30 years of experience in the research, curation, and sale of original African tribal art.
