南部及中部非洲的面具與符號

这面Pwevo面具，相当于Tshokwe的Pwo面具，代表一位女性祖先。发型由前端染成蓝色、由植物纤维编成的长而细的辫发组成，分中而成，是1930年代的创新。面部比Tshokwe更具深度，涂成红色，在发际连接处有一条双层彩色玻璃珠拍带，增添妩媚气质；下方及全长处有竖向刻痕的疤痕装饰；额头与鼻子自始至终有中线；眼窝上部涂黑，眼球呈球形，横向裂开；嘴形简略、瘦小且略微张开，嘴下方和圆下巴之间有两道竖向纹身；颊部的圆形与双拱形纹身在卢埃纳女性中很常见且具有辨识度；耳朵也简略呈半圆形，中央有线状纹身。面具配有以纤维编织成网状花纹的领圈，遮挡佩戴者的面部，同时让其能看到。安哥拉的舞蹈表现得庄重而优雅，但在赞比亚，舞者则沿着两根柱子之间拉起的大约十米高的绳索走动。

This Pwevo mask, equivalent to the Pwo mask of the Tshokwe, represents a female ancestor. The
hairstyle, consisting of long, fine braids of plant fibres dyed blue at the front and parted down the middle in accordance with the fashion of the time, is an innovation of the 1930s. The face, with greater depth than among the Tshokwe, is painted red and, at the junction with the hair, has a double strip of coloured glass beads as a coquettish touch; below and along its entire length are scarifications in the form of vertical notches; it has a medial line along the entire length of the forehead and nose; in the eye sockets, the upper part of which is painted black, it has globular eyes slit horizontally; the mouth, schematic, small and elongated, is slightly open, without showing the teeth, with two vertical tattoos below, between the mouth and the rounded chin; the circular and double-arched tattoos on the cheeks are common and distinctive among Luena women; the ears are also schematic, semicircular in shape, with linear tattoos in
their centre. The mask has a collar made of braided fibres in a mesh pattern, which conceals the wearer's face
while allowing them to see. In Angola, the dance is sober and elegant, but in Zambia, the dancer moves along a rope stretched between two posts about ten metres above the ground.
