Like the Fang of southern Cameroon, who are famous for their large white masks, the Bulu also practiced the Ngil ritual to combat witchcraft and poisoning.
Ngi is the gorilla, a formidable animal with which the initiate identifies after being accepted into the secret society.
Their monkey statues are notable for the invention of round and simple shapes, and for a great accuracy in observing the animal's posture. The Bulu admit that there is a part of their ancestors in the symbolism of the gorilla.
