Dimitri André

南部及中部非洲的面具与符号

根据这位前殖民者的说法，这面面具在他的种植园用于模仿与娱乐表演，象征白人之灵。那这面具是不是欧洲人面孔的代表？在Fang传统中，死者在白人之地轮回，因此这是有可能的。白人因此成为回到生者身边的祖先。此外，他们具备超自然世界中叛离灵魂的所有特征：邪恶且为数不多，他们还懂得各村落的语言。已知最古老的样本是单面Ngontang面具，如这件，它们的确切用途尚不清楚。

According to this former settler, this mask was used on his plantation in performances of parody and entertainment, and represented the spirit of the white man. Was the mask, then, a representation
of a European’s face? It is possible, insofar as Fang tradition holds that the deceased are reincarnated in the land of the Whites. The Whites are thus the ancestors who have returned to visit the living. They possess, moreover, all the characteristics of the defector spirits from the world of supernatural forces: they are wicked and evil, though few in number, and they learn the languages of the various villages. The oldest known examples are single-faced Ngontang masks, such as this one, and their precise use is unknown.
