南部及中部非洲的面具与符号

这些头盔式面具用整块木材雕刻成圆柱形。它们由面部和发型组成，常以动物作冠冕。面具的发型涂成黑色，顶上是一块带略微凸出的缘的平台，上面雕刻着一只动物，可能是羚羊（角已缺失），涂成黑色，脸部为浅色多彩，尾部为动物皮毛尾。
脸部被红色穗饰完全框住，延伸至鼻子处形成一种胡须状；眼睛呈球形，沿轮廓有精细的切割，瞳孔以蓝色勾勒；鼻子很大，鼻孔穿孔宽大，嘴巴无唇，露出牙齿；耳朵由两只 Katyeeti 鸟组成。
在南部，这些面具比北部的显得更具个体性，原因在于它们随附的歌声和观众的反应。有人说这些面具代表所有逝去长者的集体形象，尤其是母系血统的首领（Leemba）。同时，它们还蕴含一种强力的咒语，能够促进狩猎成功、治愈某些疾病，并伤害怀有恶意或表现出不敬之人。

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.
