The Fang people of Africa used these masks in their secret societies. Members of this society wore the Ngil masks during member initiation and the punishment of criminals and wrong-doers. Masqueraders, dressed in raffia costumes and attended by assistants, would materialize in the village at night fall, illuminated by a fire flickering nearby.

The Fang tribe who created this beautiful African Art are spread over a vast area along the Atlantic coast of equatorial Africa and can be found in Cameroon, Guinea and Gabon along the bank of the Ogowe river.
