| These long angular Dan masks, among the rigidly
stylistic in African Art, are used for hunting ceremonies, or in
storytelling by traveling entertainers. Numbering some 3.5 million,
the Fang people inhabit Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, and
speak variants of the Bantu language group. Fang society is strongly
patrilineal and was known in previous years for hunting, waging war
and even occasional cannibalism. They remain a powerful influence in
their countries today. |
