MINIATURE MASKS, West and Central Africa
The best known tradition of using miniature masks were by the Dan people of Liberia and the Ivory Coast.
The Dan people carried small masks (less than 20 cm high) which are sometimes
called "passport" masks. They are sewn onto a piece of cloth and
kept in a leather pouch and possibly worn in the small of the back. They
are miniature copies of a family mask and sometimes received libations.
These apotropaic masks also act as witnesses during initiation ceremonies.
-----From The Tribal Arts of Africa by Jean-Baptiste Bacquart.
Please note the sizes carefully. Photographs of small objects can make them appear much larger than they are.
