The Baule passport masks were traditionally carried by the Dan people in a leather pouch. They are often miniature copies of a family mask, which was used as a means of identification and displayed to honor important visitors to the village. Most masks are carved to resemble a specific family member or person of honor.
This old African passport mask from the Ivory Coast is more than decades old (mid 20th century) and shows a shiny patina.
