African Lega mask 13*8″ 1,1 lbs, for your collection or your wall and interior decoration (Blmk20038)
Lega people live in autonomous villages in the forests of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
Most Lega masks are heart shaped with concave faces that feature a delicate mouth and eyes shaped like cowrie shells. White pigments are applied to the masks.
Lega sculpture conveys the ethical, social, and political values of Lega culture. Both men and women in Lega culture enter the centuries-old Bwami society to learn skills and wisdom for life that are taught to initiates through art.
