Pumbu mask commands respect. Its cylindrical form and projecting tubular eyes convey power and vigilance. Only the chief or highest-ranking men wear it during times of crisis such as war, epidemic, or threats to leadership. The protruding eyes symbolise the chief's ability to see what is hidden, protect the community, and enforce justice when strength is needed.
