Dear Arman,

Thank you for choosing Mearto with your online appraisal, once again.

A Deangle face mask, originally from the Dan people of Liberia. These type of masks are considered generally feminine spirit with slit eyes, exaggerated and protruding lips often considered attributes of senufo people.
