NGIL FACE MASK. Fang people, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon. Worn by members of the Ngil Society, these masks appear at night illuminated by torchlight. This mask is less abstract than the Ngil mask in Lot #2 and it probably served a different ceremonial purpose. Scarifications are indicated on both cheeks. W10.5in. H6.5in. Wood, pigment. See “Masks from West and Central Africa” by Mary S. and Paul P. Rosen 2013 p.172.
