南部及中部非洲的面具與符號

这些头盔形面具由一整块木头雕成，呈圆柱形；它们由面部和发型组成，常以动物作冠饰。面具的发型用黑色涂绘，前端有一个略微突出的平台，上面雕刻着一只动物，可能是羚羊（角部缺失），以黑色涂漆，脸部为浅色多彩绘，带有动物皮尾。脸部被红色碎边完全环绕，边缘向下形成一排像胡须的刺状线条；眼睛球形，沿轮廓有细致切割，瞳孔以蓝色描绘；鼻子宽大，鼻孔镂空，嘴巴无唇，露出牙齿；耳朵则由两只 Katyeeti 鸟形成。 
在南方，面具比北方表现出更具个性化的特征，因为伴随的歌声和观众的回应不同。有人说这些面具代表着所有逝去长辈的共同形象，特别是母系血统（Leemba）的领头人。同时，它们还隐藏着强大的咒语，能够促成狩猎成功、治疗某些疾病，并伤害心存邪念或不敬之人。

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.
