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.
