A beautiful vintage Fang Ceremonial Ngil mask. Within the Fang tribe, the Ngil symbolized agents of social and judicial order, donning tall white masks crafted from wood and kaolin, a soft clay representing the spirit realm. Traditionally worn at night and during ceremonies, this mask held the purpose of safeguarding the tribe and instilling fear in wrongdoers. This vintage African mask, mounted on a custom metal stand, transforms into a splendid art artifact.
