Description

ivory,
These small figures are owned by the highest-ranking members of “bwami” society “lutumbu lwa kindi”.

The Lega consider “maginga” to have the strongest innate power, and they often use bits of the material scraped from these figures to mix in a drink intended for medicinal purposes.
