The Vuvi (or Vouvi) live in the central region of present-day Gabon.  Artistically and culturally, the Vuvi were inspired by stylistic masks of their neighbor, the Mitsogho.  Neverthelss, the Vuvi carved masks are flat, covered with white pigments, display a triangular chin, has large arched eyebrows going from the root of the nose to the edges, and are often more elongated than those of their neighbors, the Mitsogho (Tsogo), Punu, and Lumbu, but like the Mitsogho, their masks were worn during funeral ceremonies.

“The Vuvi cast metal bells with cephalomorphic handles, while their carvers decorated the Ebanza cult house with doors and posts. They were covered with white pigments, leaving the raised geometric and figurative motifs plain.”
