Description
A fine Ngon-Tang mask, its famous original was formerly held in the collections of Maurice de Vlaminck and Andre Derain. This lovely Ngon-Tang (“young woman") mask is designed with an oval face, a curved forehead and cheeks, a long nose, a small mouth with thin pouting lips, and narrow suspicious eyes. In its perfect form, this mask was used in the Ngon-Tang dance, in order to hunt out witch doctors or cure illness. The mask is decorated with a fine frieze and alternate black triangles, enhancing its beauty. Traces of whitish clay coating, which represent death - the color of the ancestors - are evident.
