| The Makonde njorowe, a body plate with breasts, protruding navel and a bulging belly, often referred to as belly mask, represented a young, pregnant woman. It was part of the costume of a male dancer whose face was concealed behind a female mask. In his performance with a male mask figure, he moved sluggishly, mimed sexual intercourse with his partner, and demonstrated the burdens of pregnancy and giving birth. |
