Description from the seller

Fang masks come from the Fang, a Bantu ethnic group that primarily inhabits Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and southern Cameroon. Fang masks, especially the famous Ngil, are among the most important symbols of African art. They were mainly used in rituals related to justice and spiritual protection, but they also served as instruments of deterrence against forces.
