Ngontang Mask Natural The lid handles are modelledThese Ngontang masks come from the Fang people of Gabon and are hand carved from indigenous wood. These masks were traditionally used to celebrate when spirits were thought to visit the living. We have stripped back these masks to the original wood, to give a beautiful natural aesthetic to style with. Each mask is one of a kind. The natural wood and mask details will vary slightly. Stand is included. Please note stands may have minor imperfections.
