Masks like these light masks 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 these masks show no evidence of age or use and
were probably made to be sold.
The masks with raffia are wired to hang on a wall, but would look even more impressive mounted on stands. The measurements on the individual pages are for the mask and the mask plus raffia.
