The Fang Ngil masks are characterized by their elongated, oval shape, prominent forehead, deeply set eyes, and a long, fine nose. Historically, these masks were worn during initiations for new members into the Ngil society and for social policing, including identifying and punishing wrongdoers.  This mask measures 12 x 6 1/4".  it does have 2 very minor surface cracks. One on the top and one on the bottom.  Please see last 2 magnified photos..  The rest is in very good vintage condition.
