In the Ngil community, the great initiate (Ngang), aided by his officers, would wander through the villages, concealed under a mask like this. The wearers of the mask would appear in their raffia costumes at nightfall in the village with torches.
The aim was to track down the troublemakers, with their action focusing particularly on those believed to have used witchcraft.
