Title
Italiano: Congo. Maschera Kwele. Società di iniziazione Beete
Description
Italiano: Maschera Gon - Maschera zoomorfa i cui tratti sono ricondotti a volumi massicci e forme elementari: sommità del capo di forma piramidale, grande naso posto sul piano delle guance, occhi resi con due ampie fessure disposte orizzontalmente, fauci che si proiettano in avanti con bocca ellissoidale e grandi canini sporgenti. La parte centrale della maschera è di colore scuro mentre le parti terminali sono chiare. Maschera zoomorfa il cui scopo è quello di suscitare la paura. Danza in occasione delle morti che si sospetta siano state causate dalla stregoneria e nei riti di iniziazione dei giovani circoncisi. Spesso viene identificata come la raffigurazione di un gorilla, rappresentazione simbolica dei poteri degli spiriti della foresta che fanno da controparte al potere esercitato nel villaggio. Rimanda anche all'aggressività dei capi in guerra e ai loro raid in altri villaggi. Esercita funzioni punitive e si aggira nei villaggi armata di lance uccidendo gli animali incustoditi.
