African tribal mask from Gabon carved in the Fang Ngil tradition, symbolizing ancestral protection and spiritual order.
🌍 Cultural Context
This piece is a Fang Ngil mask from Gabon, carved in the tradition of the Ngil male society, once responsible for judicial and spiritual enforcement in Fang communities.

🎨 Visual Details
The elongated vertical face, narrow slit eyes, and low-set lips reflect classic Fang design.
