南部及中部非洲的面具与符号

这些头盔面具是从一整块木头雕成的圆柱形，包含一个脸部和发型，常以动物担冠。面具的发型被黑色涂装，顶部有一个略微突出的平台，平台上雕刻着一只动物，可能是羚羊（角部缺失），涂成黑色，面部有浅色的多彩装饰，尾部为动物皮毛。脸部被红色流蘇完全框住，向下延伸的刺状鬓毛形成一种胡须感；眼睛呈球状，沿轮廓有细致切割，瞳孔以蓝色勾勒；鼻子大而通孔，嘴巴无唇，露出牙齿；耳朵由两只Katyeeti鸟形状组成。在南方，面具的表现比北方更具个人色彩，因为它们有伴随的歌声和观众的回应。传说这些面具有代表所有去世长者的集体形象，特别是母系血统的首领（Leemba）。同时，它们蕴含强大的法咒，能够促成成功打猎、治愈某些疾病，以及伤害怀有恶意或对人不敬的人。

These helmet masks are carved from a single piece of wood in the shape of a cylinder; they consist of
a face and a hairstyle, often crowned with an animal. The mask has a hairstyle painted
black, topped by a platform with a slightly protruding rim, on which
an animal is carved, possibly a gazelle (the horns are missing), painted black, with a
light-coloured polychrome face and an animal skin tail.
The face is completely framed by a red fringe, with spikes down to the
nose forming a kind of beard; the eyes are globular, with fine cuts following the
contour and the pupils outlined in blue; the nose is large with wide
pierced nostrils and the mouth, without lips, shows the teeth; the ears are formed by two
Katyeeti birds.
In the south, the masks behave in a more individualised manner than in the north, due to their
accompanying songs and the responses of the audience. It is said that these masks represent
the collective image of all deceased elders, particularly the heads of the maternal lineage
(Leemba). At the same time, they contain a powerful spell that can promote successful
hunting, cure certain ailments, and harm those who harbour evil intentions or show
disrespect.
