This is a very unusual
and extremely rare Dan helmet mask which was used in unkown ceremonies.
Its creative components include a face mask applied over a cane
basket to form a helmet mask. The top features a head handle
whose betina is from both offerings and handling. It has fiber
depicting hair woven into the cane basket. All inclusive the
measurements on this unique piece totals 20" by 7"
by 12".
