Lega mask - DRC ex Zaire - African Art Tribal Art

Item Details

Description

Title: Lega mask - DRC ex Zaire - African Art Tribal Art

Date/Period: Second half XX°

Origin: DRC ex Zaire

Dimension: 12,99 Inch

Materials: wood, raffia

Weight: 1,54 Pounds

Item type: masks

Provenance: Within the Léga, the society of Bwami open to men and women, organized social and political life. There were up to seven levels of initiation, each associated with emblems. Following their exodus from Uganda during the 17th century, the Lega settled on the west bank of the Lualaba River in the DRC. Also called Warega, these individuals live in autonomous villages surrounded by palisades, generally on hilltops. The role of leader, kindi, is held by the oldest man in the clan, who must be the highest ranking. As in other forest tribes, men hunt and clear land while women cultivate cassava. Social recognition and authority also had to be earned individually: the leader owed his selection to his heart (mutima), good character, intelligence, and impeccable behavior. During ritual ceremonies, Idumu masks, collectively owned, were presented to initiates placed on a barrier and surrounded by smaller individual masks.

Additional Information: Stand not included. A universal or custom base can be ordered separately.
