Gabonese Masks
(30 items)Discover NOVICA's Collection of Gabonese Masks. Many of these masks are heart-shaped or have elongated facial features, such as the Fang Ngil masks. Often colored to resemble the traditional white kaolin clay that these masks were originally covered with, you will find in them the stylistic features that influenced the early 20th century art of the French avant-garde. Handcrafted by contemporary African artisans, these highly collectible masks have an uncanny beauty.

Adorns my wall
This mask is quite beautiful on my wall. It is so life like several of my children have committed how it makes them feel when sitting down. Just what I was looking for in a mask.
