CENTRAL AFRICAN WHITE NGIL MASK FROM GABON
A traditional Central African white Ngil mask from Gabon. This mask is a striking example of the rich cultural traditions and artistic expressions of the Fang people in Gabon.

The white color symbolizes purity and connection to the spirit world, while the distinctive design elements, such as the elongated face and intricate carved patterns, hold deep symbolism within the Fang cultural context.
