Masks from Gabon, spanning the Kwele, Lega, Punu, Teke, Fang and Bakota traditions.
Each mask carries its own cultural role, from the Kwele’s heart-shaped forms used to mediate between the living and ancestral spirits, to the white kaolin faces of Punu masks representing idealised female ancestors, to the geometric Lega masks central to the Bwami society’s initiation rites. These masks are direct expressions of Gabon rich oral and ceremonial traditions.
