NGAADY und MWAASH Maske - Kuba - Kuba - DR Kongo
Ngaady a Mwaash mask represents the primordial female of the Kuba people in what is now the Democratic Republic of Congo. Queen Ngokady, a notable Kuba woman, created this kind of mask. .The beadwork that covers the mouth symbolizes the composure and quietness of women. The red in the mask represents suffering and the blood of menses and childbirth, the striated lines extending from her eyes and running down her cheek are tears. The black of the triangles signifies the hearth of the king’s home and the domesticity therein, the white of the mask the mourning of women and the blue, Ngaady a Mwaash’s royal status. There are some fossilized spiders as decorations
