南部及中部非洲的面具与符号

这张面具的脸完全被白粉涂抹，只有眼、耳、口周围留有几笔蓝色笔触，让人联想到加蓬奥果埃的白面具。就面具的脸而言，额头狭窄（两侧及上方由略呈弧形、简单的发际线框住），从眼眶（呈延长V形，横跨整张脸）延伸而出的，是一张宽鼻、鼻孔穿透的鼻子（鼻子与眼眶线合并在一起，形状类似百合花）。眼睛凸起，呈杏仁形，未被穿孔，瞳孔在杏仁形轮廓内略有凹陷；嘴巴呈 elongated heart 形状，张开露出牙齿，画得相当明确，上方中间两颗门牙被磨成倒V形；下巴圆润且边缘尖锐；耳朵是两块宽大的、凸起明显的耳饰。整体给人的印象是内向且惊异，呈现出完全表达主义风格。上部结构由一个纵向的细长锥体与穿过的两个水平圆盘组成（天线缺失）；颈圈宽而极长，不是由藤条编织而成，而是用更厚重的植物纤维，颜色为深棕色。

The face of this mask, completely whitewashed except for a few blue strokes around
the eyes, ears and mouth, is reminiscent of the white masks of Ogoue in Gabon.
The mask, taking into account African colour symbolism, represents the spirit of
a returned deceased, a rare theme in Yaka masks. As for the face of the mask, below
a narrow forehead (framed laterally and superiorly by a slightly curved and simple hairline),
 from the eye sockets (in the shape of an elongated V that occupies the entire width of the
face), there is a large nose with wide, pierced nostrils (the nose and line of the
eye sockets together are shaped like a fleur-de-lis). The eyes, in relief, almond-shaped, are not pierced and the pupils are marked by a slight depression inside the almond-shaped edge; the mouth, in the shape of an elongated heart, is open showing the teeth, well drawn, with the two upper central incisors filed
in the shape of an inverted V; the chin is rounded with a sharp edge; the ears are two
wide plates in strong relief. The overall impression is one of introversion and amazement in a totally expressionist style. The superstructure consists of an elongated vertical cone passing through two horizontal discs (the antennae are missing); the collar, wide and very long, is not made of raffia but of much thicker vegetable fibres, dark brown in colour.
