African masks symbolism for women
African masks symbolism for women - this little known Yanda Mask is one of the few masks that, in my opinion, represents woman in Africa. The tribe was one of the very few that considered woman and their point of views.
YANDE
NORTHE – EASTERN ZAIRE
Yanda comes from the Zande area of Zaire. The word Yanda is used for this little figure and alsofor the Protecting Spirit of the sect that venerates it. The sect was opposed by the Zande princes and by the early twentieth century colonial powers. The ideals of this sect were both remarkable and commendable in that "...it was sympathetic to social change and fired feelings of revolt among those sectors of the population that had always been excluded from the exercise of power, for example, women, who were allowed to participate in meetings of the sect."
