Item Details
Description

A traditional Central African white Ngil mask from Gabon. This mask is a striking example of the rich cultural traditions and artistic expressions of the Fang people in Gabon. The Ngil mask is used in the initiation ceremonies of the Fang society. It carries a dual role, both as a ceremonial object and as a representation of a spirit force. The white color symbolizes purity and connection to the spirit world, while the distinctive design elements, such as the elongated face and intricate carved patterns, hold deep symbolism within the Fang cultural context. Provenance: Ex. Thomas MCNemar collection of Dr. Calvin Holder, New York city. Traditional African Wooden Masks And Tribal Art Collectibles.

Dimensions: 26 x 13 x 9 1/2 in. All measurements are approximate.
