Description:

|
The Wee or Krahn are a Kru-speaking ethnic group of Liberia and Ivory Coast. The Wee particularly identify with spirits associated with water known as 'tien','nitien' or 'Dwin'. This mask is worn by a man, but it belongs to women. The man wearing the mask goes out during the dry season, followed by the women of the village, who give him bracelets. Two women then follow him to give him water to drink and receive bracelets back. (Source: Musée du Quai Branly-Jacques Chirac [website]; http://www.quaibranl y.fr/en/)
