NZEBI mask Close to Punu, the Nzebi have nevertheless developed their own and original styles of white masks, testifying to a beautiful creative vitality. So, do not appreciate their pieces "relative" to the Punu, but as an autonomous expression of their genius. On the present mask, the headdress is typical, the face is in a very harmonious egg oval, the features are fine and the use of colors original. Indeed, these two colors symbolize the sharing of the universe in two complementary worlds, that of spirits (white) and that of earthly life (red blood, sacrifices to ancestors and spirits). Mask charged with an interiority full of deep mysteries. Important mask because it expresses the deep vision of the universe by the African.
