Ngil mask Fang people, Gabon 17 inches, painted wood
Arguably the most handsome mask on our website, it comes from an ethnographic collection assembled by the late F.P. Macleod-Selkirk and his father. The collection was begun in 1900 and many of the pieces are first rate. Of course, this provenance does not mean the mask is authentic or old. If it had been danced by the Fang back in the 1800’s, you would be seeing it on the cover of a Christies catalog, not MasksoftheWorld.com! SOLD
