Description

wood, colour pigments,

Lega masks fall into the category of “bwami” initiation objects. The Lega divide them into five types: “lukwakongo”, “kayamba”, “idimu”, “muminia” und “lukungu”.

The masks serve as an important mark of rank, identifying the owners as members of specific “bwami” levels. “Idimu” masks are used by members of the “yananio” or “kindi” initiation level.
