At the burial ceremonies of the Puno society, the mask represented a female ancestor. In the Mukui society, the masked performer, sometimes on stilts, performed at the dance of the full moon. (See Segy's MASKS OF BLACK AFRICA.) The refined features and elaborate coiffure of the Puno masks mirror the appearance of tribal women. Social cohesion is ensured by the Mukudji society , whose primary role is to subjugate harmful forest spirits. The white pigments usually seen on such masks allude to the anti-witchcraft powers of this group. They are worn by the initiates, who are often on stilts. They are thought to represent ancestor's faces.  ,
