Dan Tribe Collection

The Dan Kran tribe, also known as the Dan people or Yacouba, is an ethnic group residing primarily in the Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire) and Liberia. They are renowned for their rich artistic traditions, particularly their intricate wooden masks and sculptures. The Dan people have a strong connection to nature and their environment, and their cultural practices often reflect this relationship. Their social structure is arranged in a hierarchical system of governance led by chiefs and elders. Traditional beliefs and practices, including animism and ancestor worship, play a significant role in their spiritual life. Despite modern influences, the Dan people continue to maintain and celebrate their cultural heritage.
