This fearsome mask comes from the We people of western Ivory Coast and eastern Liberia. The We have been variously known in the past as the Kran in Liberia and the Nguere or Guere in Ivory Coast. Though close in terms of geography and culture to the well-known Dan people in the region, they are separated by language (Wee are Kru speakers and the Dan are Mande speakers). Both the Dan and We have dynamic masking associations known as Poro that initiate the young and regulate society. Poro is an exclusively men’s society, however masks between the We and their Dan neighbors are divided into male and female categories based on their form and details.
