Product description
The Dan, also called Yacouba, are an ethnic group living mainly in Ivory Coast and Liberia. They are renowned for their rich artistic tradition, including masks and wooden sculptures. These objects are often linked to ritual and spiritual practices. The sculpture is made of wood, a material commonly used by Dan artists. Wood is often chosen for its durability and ability to be finely worked. The statue is of medium size, 80cm, typical of Dan sculptures intended for rituals or domestic decoration. The head is adorned with an elaborate hairstyle, often interpreted as a sign of status or beauty. The face is stylized with angular features and almond-shaped eyes, characteristic of Dan representations. The nose is straight and the lips are full, often closed, expressing dignity and calm. The body is elongated and stylized, with idealized proportions. The arms are slightly bent, with the hands falling on either side of the body. The legs are straight, with flat, well-defined feet. The statue is adorned with a necklace, the surface of the sculpture has a dark patina, suggesting antiquity and prolonged ritual use. Natural patina is often the result of frequent handling and ritual offerings. The hairstyle is intricate, representing a traditional Dan style. Elaborate hairstyles are often a sign of status and beauty in African art. This Dan statue is a representative piece of the art and culture of this ethnic group. With its stylized features and ornamental details, it embodies the Dan values of beauty, dignity and spirituality.Product specifications
