Dimitri André

南部及中部非洲的面具與符號

根据这位前定居者的说法，这面面具在他的种植园用于表演讽刺和娱乐，象征白人的精神。那么，这面具是不是欧洲人脸的象征？在 Fang 传统中，死者被认为会在白人之地轮回，因此是可能的。白人因此是回到人间探访生者的祖先。它们 moreover 拥有超自然力量世界中背叛灵魂的所有特征：它们邪恶且凶狠，尽管人数不多，并且它们会学习各村的语言。最早知名的例子是单面 Ngontang 面具，如同这一个，其确切用途尚不清楚。

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.
