MASCHERE PUNU E NUOVE ACQUISIZIONI
SETTEMBRE 2008 - FEBBRAIO 2009 La popolazione Punu, oggi
stanziata nel nord ovest del Gabon, pare provenga con altre popolazioni vicine,
dall'Angola da dove migrarono nel corso del 1700. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° It seems that the Punu population with
other neighbouring ones, originated from Angola and migrated during 1700 into
the north west of Gabon where they live today. Dancers completely covered with
textile or raffia costumes and moving on stilts were wearing marvellous masks.
They have delicate features and slit eyes, the mouth is full and frequently
accentuated with red colour. Often they have cheloids on the forehead and close
to the ears. They wear elaborate hairstyles with one or two buns in the center
sometimes descending as plaits. The face of the masks can be white with caolin
or painted with other pigments therefore called "white" or "black" Punu masks.
