Fang Mask - Gabon - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Fang Mask - Gabon - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: N/A

Origin: Gabon

Dimension: 23,23 Inch

Materials: wood

Weight: 3,09 Pounds

Item type: masks

Provenance: An African mask of the Fang type, carved on the eve of ceremonies and accompanied by words, gestures, dances and sacrifices. Fang masks also appeared during initiations, out of sight of the uninitiated, and were used to identify those guilty of evil deeds within the village. Velvety matt patina, good condition, abrasions and minor accidents.
The Fang, who lived in a region stretching from Yaoundé in Cameroon to Ogooué in Gabon, were never politically united. Clan cohesion was maintained through religious and judicial associations such as the so and ngil. The appearance of masks, generally coated with kaolin (the white colour evokes the power of the ancestors), in the middle of the night, could cause fright. The male secret society ngil, which no longer exists today, was responsible for initiations and combating witchcraft. The ngil was a purifying fire ritual symbolised by the gorilla. A guarantor of peace, it also determined the seasons, the location of villages and the conditions under which agricultural land was to be used.

Additional Information: Stand not included. A universal or custom base can be ordered separately.
