The art markets continued to capitalize on the strange, exciting discount tiffany necklaces in Harley's Poro essay (1941). Until the mid-1980s, masks for sale from the Dan and Guère (in Côte d'Ivoire), were promoted as "Poro Society" masks, overlooking the existence of Mano masks. The market ignored the field studies (Himmelheber 1963a, 1963b; Fischer 1980; Fischer and Himmeífieber 1984} that showed this assignment of Dan and Guere/Kran masks to be in error. The Paris market promoted Dan masks from the French colony (now Côte d'Ivoire) where the majority of the Dan population resided and other face masks from the neighboring Guère (related to the Kran in Liberia), who shared a strong, abstract style in mask making. As Harley had noted discount Tiffany Necklaces earlier (1950:19, 24), the Dan were more accustomed to sell and trade in masks than the Mano in Liberia.According to Verger- Fevre's research also (1980:9), by the end of the 1960s, French national institutions and museums had acquired 200 masks from peoples of Côte d'Ivoire, the majority of which were from the Dan (63) and the Guère (44). The fame of Dan masks in the latter part of the twentieth discount tiffany necklaces was enhanced also by Himmelheber and Fischer's fine illustrations of the Dan corpus. Himmelheber focused on the Dan as early as i949> publishing results of his three research visits in Die Dan in 1958 and continued writing on African art and culture until his final book, Arts of the Dan, coauthored with Eberhard Fisher (1984).The focus of the international art market and scholarly activities suggest a discount tiffany necklaces reason for the lack of attention to the Mano feminine-style discount tiffany necklaces. My conclusion is that the market favored the Dan masks not simply because they were more readily available in the French colony in West Africa, but also because the style of the feminine category followed more closely the abstract, geometricized forms favored by the modern taste of artists and collectors.
