Dark Ebonized Fang Ngil Mask

This elegant Fang Ngil mask from Gabon is a captivating example of African tribal art. The mask is characterized by its elongated form, with a long, narrow face, a prominent forehead, and a slightly open mouth. The surface is adorned with scarification marks and a rich, dark patina, which contrasts beautifully with the lighter-colored accents around the eyes and mouth. These accents may represent tribal tattoos or scarification marks, adding a layer of intrigue and cultural significance.
