Light masks like these represented the spirit of an ancestor and were used for social control by Ngil, the judiciary association. The facial markings, abstract features and strong, elegant lines are typical of Fang masks, which were among the most influential on 20th C. modern art.

Despite their appearance this group of masks show no evidence of age or use and were probably made to be sold.
