南部及中部非洲的面具与符号

这副霍洛面具极大地简化了水牛头部的形象。人们相信水牛拥有超自然力量，因其能够随意消失又重新出现。在狩猎故事中，据说动物会回到受伤的地点，但会绕道；随后它藏起来，从背后吓唬猎人。在这一点上，水牛与巫师颇为相似。根据 J. Cornet 的说法，“在霍洛面具中有该流派最杰出的杰作，尤其是与雅卡人同样存在的一类面具：描绘动物头部，特别是水牛和羚羊的头部的面具”。这些面具基本上用于在 Kwango-Kwilu 地区进行割礼后的舞蹈。霍洛艺术鲜为人知，近来才被发现，但质量很高。

This Holo mask is an extraordinary simplification of a buffalo’s head. Buffaloes are believed
to possess supernatural powers due to their ability to vanish and reappear at will. In
hunting tales, it is said that the animal returns to the spot where it was wounded, but takes a
detour; it then hides and surprises the hunter from behind. In this respect, the buffalo resembles the sorcerer.
According to J. Cornet, ‘among the Holo masks are the most eminent masterpieces of the
genre, particularly a type of mask also found among the Yaka: those depicting the heads
of animals, particularly buffalo and antelope’. These masks are used, essentially, for
the dances that follow circumcision, in the Kwango-Kwilu region. Holo art is little
known, having been discovered relatively recently, yet it is of a high quality.
