Original accompanying Léon de Sousberghe caption reads, " Poteau anthropomorphe." Translated original accompanying caption read, " Anthropormophous stake."
The form of the palisade (tsungu) shaping the small front court is of great importance. Warnings abound for outsiders to keep their distance. Some of the stakes in the palisade express the theme of danger and forbidden entry through the metaphoric use of masks from the men's fraternity.

Original accompanying Léon de Sousberghe caption reads, " Village Mbangu. Enclos de masques." Translated original accompanying caption reads, " Village of Mbangu. Masks enclosure."
For the Eastern Pende, a great chief must have a small court in front, formed by a serried row of stakes and tree slips. A short fence of four of fivestakes extends from that wall on each side of the house; the architectural plan thus constructs a narrow oblique path as the only route of access. The form of the palisade (tsungu) shaping the small front court is of great importance. Warnings abound for outsiders to keep their distance. Some of the stakes in the palisade express the theme of danger and forbidden entry through the metaphoric use of masks from the men's fraternity.

Original accompanying Léon de Sousberghe caption reads, " Case cheffale à Gavudi." Translated original accompanying caption reads, " Chief's ritual house at Gavudi."
de Sousberghe photographed the remains of door-panels at Gavudi (Eastern Pende). Architectural figures flanking the door of the chief's ritual house (kibulu) appear as both men and women. They represent the chief's personal guard, and serve as spirit sentinels concerned with the chief alone while the rooftop sculpture, resting on the ritual pole, functions primarily to protect the village. These door-panels are called kenene among the Eastern Pende and pego among the Central Pende.
