Mbuya initiation mask depicting a human face. The face is crossed by a broken line symbolizing the eyebrows and overhanging a nose with a well-marked nasal bridge. The eyelids are wide and lowered. The lips are upturned, and the mouth is half-open, revealing pointed teeth. The forehead is rounded and adorned with a chevron-shaped scarification. The face is topped by a headdress featuring three movable horns made of woven raffia.
The attributes of this mask relate to the representation of the fierce traditional chief Pumbu (Phumbu): the executioner.
