Fang people, Gabon/Cameroon — Ngil society mask
Worn by the Ngil men's society during initiation rites and the judgement of wrongdoers, the white-painted, elongated heart-shaped face was designed to appear by torchlight after dark — part ritual, part instrument of social authority. The Fang are equally renowned for their reliquary figures, a tradition this mask shares lineage with.
Origin: Fang people, Gabon/Cameroon · Material: hand-carved wood
