Tallada en madera de sese y tratada con arcilla, esta máscara representa a una curandera de la tribu Dan en Liberia. "En realidad lo usan los soldados, pero a veces tienen que actuar como médicos nativos", explica Salihu Ibrahim. "Creían que, cuando las usaran, serían poseídos por los poderes curativos de las máscaras". Ibrahim adorna la máscara con yute, hilos de algodón y cuentas de piedra.
