This mask, called 'ngou ntangha' by the Fang people represents the spirit of a dead person. The mask is used to locate sorcerers, those who misuse spiritual powers. It is also used at other events including feasts, celebrations of birth and funerals. The meaning of the four faces on this mask varies from four spirits, to four stages of life, to four of a person's relatives. The dancer wearing this mask would look out of the small holes and use the long fibers to transform their appearance.
