南部及中部非洲的面具與符號

面具的大致形状、从额部到鼻尖的中线，以及从眶下弓起向下贯穿双颊的纹线和纹身，显示出对库巴族的影响；红色背景和下颚处以黑白三角形装饰，映现了卡赛（Casai）帕恩代族的风格。帕恩代族与贝纳·比昂博族都在割礼仪式中使用这种面具。面具的额头高而圆拱；眉毛是两条在鼻基部相会的黑色V形线；眼眶呈椭圆形，向鼻梁处逐渐尖端收敛，内部为白色，框住鼓胀的杏形眼睛，眼睛闭合，眼睑交汇处有一条中线标示；鼻子呈延长的三角形，鼻孔涂成白色，末端略有抬起的平面；嘴部为突出的、圆角矩形形状；颊部前两排纹身之上是为佩戴者眼睛准备的孔行；头饰为镶有海螺壳的一条豹皮边饰；面具上还有以草编纤维制成的胡须。

The general shape of the mask, the central line running from the forehead to the nose, and the lines
and tattoos that start at the suborbital arches and run down the cheeks reveal the influence
of the Kuba; the red background colour and the decoration of the chin with black and white triangles reflect
that of the Pende of Casai. Both the Pende and the Bena Biombo use these masks in circumcision rites.
On the mask, the forehead is high and domed; the eyebrows are two black V-shaped lines that meet at the
base of the nose; the eye sockets are elliptical, tapering to a point where the eyebrows meet the nose,
with the interior painted white, framing bulging, almond-shaped eyes that are closed, with a central line marking the junction of the eyelids; the nose is an elongated triangle, with the nostrils painted white, ending in a slightly raised plane; the mouth is a protruding, rounded rectangular shape; above the first two rows of tattoos on the
cheeks are rows of holes for the wearer’s eyes; the headdress is a leopard skin edged with a strip of cowrie shells; the mask has a raffia beard.
