Since honoring ancestors and the dead is one of the important elements in most African cultures, it is not surprising that the dead are also a common theme for African masks. Masks that refer to dead ancestors are mostly shaped from human skulls.
A famous example is the "Moana Poo" (meaning "young woman") among the Chukwue people of Angola, which combines elements of feminine beauty (such as a well-proportioned oval face, small nose and chin) and elements of death (such as sunken eyes, Cracked skin and tears) refers to a female ancestor who died young and is honored in rituals such as circumcision and rebirth ceremonies.
Since the honor of the dead is more associated with fertility and reproduction, many masks of dead ancestors also have sexual symbols. For example, the "Andyamba" mask of the Yaka people (Angola and Congo), in which, in addition to using a human skull to form the nose, the simulation of male genitals is also used, which is a symbol of birth and fertility in humans. 6 replies

There are masks or faces that are used for various ceremonies and rituals in some of the countries of sub-Saharan Africa, for example, approximately between the Great African Sahara and the Kalahari Desert, and they are one of the characteristics of the traditional culture of these people and are considered essential for these ceremonies and rituals. While the meanings of these emoticons vary widely across cultures, many African cultures share some common traits.
For example, masks usually have a spiritual and religious meaning, and they are used in dance rituals, social events, and religious ceremonies, and in certain circumstances, there is a relationship between the artist who created the face and those who use it in the ceremony. In most cases, mask making is an art that is passed down from father to son along with the knowledge of the symbolic meanings of masks. African emoticons are made in different colors such as red, black, orange and brown. 6 replies
