About Dan Dancer Figures from Ivory Coast 14-18"
What is the difference between the old edition and new edition oils?
The original manufacturer of some of our oils raised their prices by a large amount recently but we were able to find oils that are the same or better quality from different manufacturers.
We added these same oils from the new manufacturer at lower prices, and kept the original higher priced oils also with the words “OLD EDITION” added to the title of the oil.
Some customers like the new editions better, and other people like the old edition oil most. The strength and quality is the same, but there may be subtle differences in the scent.
We offer both so that you can choose the one that is best for you.
Charming and colorful, this Dan Dancer Figure from Ivory Coast is a terrific example of the art of the Ivory Coast. The figure has a traditional African mask, which is oval shaped and depicts human features. It is black with a red band around the eyes. The figure wears a red, coned cap and has red yarn for hair. It has a blue shirt and grass skirt over white pants that are embroidered with traditional African designs. The dancer is 14”-18” in height. It makes cheerful and captivating addition to the décor of any room.
The figure represents a traditional dancer of the Ivory Coast stilt walkers. It is a ritual dance that protects the village and is celebrated during ceremonies, such as weddings, funerals, initiations and other special occasions. The costume-mask is often composed of a headdress, a wide skirt in palm fiber and a cloak of cloth, that completely covers the wearer, hiding his body, respecting the belief that the mask is a spirit of the forest and not a human being. The natural fiber represents the wild forest while the fabric represents the civilized human society and the mask is a mediator between these two worlds.
