    Ex Belgian private collection. Dan mask from Côte d'Ivoire, matte black patina. Plinth piece.

    Dan masks from Côte d'Ivoire are generally similar in form, with distinctions being made in the characteristics of the eyes, mouth and headdress. Zapkei ge" masks play a special role in preventing fires by keeping watch over domestic fires.

    The collection of tribal art comes from Guy Mercier, a consultant for the Solvay group, who began collecting in the early 20th century. During his missions to West and Central Africa, he acquired works on site, but the bulk of his collection comes from the "cabinets of curiosity" that were in vogue in European capitals during the 1920s. He also acquired pieces from prestigious galleries in Paris, Brussels, London and New York. This collection was then entrusted to Monsieur Jean Charles Mercier, Guy Mercier's grandson.
