南部及中部非洲的面具与符号

总体形状、额部到鼻部的中线，以及始于眶下弓并向脸颊延伸的纹线和纹身，揭示了库巴族的影响；红色背景色以及下巴处以黑白三角形装饰，反映了卡塞伊的彭德族风格。彭德族和贝纳比昂博族都在割礼仪式中使用这些面具。

在面具上，额部高而圆顶；眉毛是两条黑色的V形线，在鼻基处相汇；眼眶呈椭圆形，向鼻梁汇聚处逐渐变尖，眉毛与鼻子交汇处的内部涂白，框住突出、杏仁状且闭合的眼睛，眼睑之间有一条中线标示连接处；鼻子呈延长的三角形，鼻孔涂白，末端略呈上升平面；嘴部突出，呈圆角长方形状；颊部的前两排纹身上方有一排排洞孔供佩戴者的眼睛穿过使用；头饰为豹皮，边缘镶有一条海螈壳带；面具上有藤条胡须。

The general shape of the mask, the central line running from the forehead to the nose, and the lines
and tattoos that start at the suborbital arches and run down the cheeks reveal the influence
of the Kuba; the red background colour and the decoration of the chin with black and white triangles reflect
that of the Pende of Casai. Both the Pende and the Bena Biombo use these masks in circumcision rites.
On the mask, the forehead is high and domed; the eyebrows are two black V-shaped lines that meet at the
base of the nose; the eye sockets are elliptical, tapering to a point where the eyebrows meet the nose,
with the interior painted white, framing bulging, almond-shaped eyes that are closed, with a central line marking the junction of the eyelids; the nose is an elongated triangle, with the nostrils painted white, ending in a slightly raised plane; the mouth is a protruding, rounded rectangular shape; above the first two rows of tattoos on the
cheeks are rows of holes for the wearer’s eyes; the headdress is a leopard skin edged with a strip of cowrie shells; the mask has a raffia beard.
