Arts of Africa - Old - Lega Warior Mask - DRC - Congo - 18" Height x 9" Wide
Democratic Republic of the Congo The 100.000 to 250,000 Lega inhabit the virgin forest of eastern DRC, between the great lakes and the Lualaba River, next to Luba people. The Lega do not possess a centralized political organization, and both men and women aspire to moral authority by gaining high rank in the bwami association. They live in the autonomous villages collectively situated at the summit of a hill surrounded by a palisade. They practice a mixed economy involving agriculture. Hunting and fishing. Division of labor is gender based and akin to the economic patterns of other tribes living in the forest environment: men hunt and clear new land and women cultivate manioc and other crops. The function of the bwami is to regulate the social. Religious, and political life of the Lega. It is conveying ethical principles and establishing ... moresocial norms. Circumcision was an indispensable process that allowed entrance into the bwami. It was accompanied by the teaching of proverbs and instruction in the handling of objects endowed with moral and practical significance. The bwami was divided into several levels. To pass to the next level. A series of initiations, gifts, and payments were needed; and this meant that one had attained a certain wisdom and acquired a personal moral sense. The great ceremonies organized for the accession to the highest level would require that entire villages be constructed to house the clan of the candidate and members of the other clans who often came from very far away to participate in the festivities.

Between the great lakes and the Lualaba River, next to Luba people. The Lega do not possess a centralized political organization, and both men and women aspire to moral authority by gaining high rank in the Bwami association. They live in the autonomous villages collectively situated at the summit of a hill surrounded by a palisade. They practice a mixed economy involving agriculture, hunting and fishing. Division of labor is gender based and akin to the economic patterns of other tribes living in the forest environment. Men hunt and clear new land and women cultivate manioc and other crops. The function of the Bwami is to regulate the social, religious, and political life of the Lega. It is conveying ethical principles and establishing social norms. Circumcision was an indispensable process that allowed entrance into the Bwami. It was accompanied by the teaching of proverbs and instruction in the handling of objects endowed with moral and practical significance. The Bwami was divided into several levels. To pass to the next level, a series of initiations, gifts, and payments were needed; and this meant that one had attained a certain wisdom and acquired a

Damage/Repair, worn patina on face and on the body. Shallow cracks, chips, inscription ... morein the back'L449" probably a former collection# Additional Information: A superb stylized Lega seated figure with hand onknees. Face painted in white. Figures of this quality are rare to find. This one would be an excellent addition to a collection. The arts of the Lega(Warega) are well-known by collectors. And highly regarded for their naive, abstract appeal. The bulk of Lega artistic output is reserved for use by and for members of the"Bwami" Society.Figures representing humans, like this seated figure, iginga, complete with full arms and hands on head, are rare. These figures, used in the higher levels of Bwami, are normally much more abstract. Bwami is a complex organization consisting of multiple levels, and is open to both men and women. It forms the essential component of political, social, and religious life. Within Bwami, artworks are used in conjunction with proverbs, anecdotes, and performances to form complex, layered metaphors which teach moral values.

The bulk of Lega artistic output is reserved for use by and for members of the"Bwami" Society.Figures representing humans, like this small"iginga, complete with short arms and hands, with tooth, are rare. These small figures, used in the higher levels of Bwami, are normally much more abstract. Bwami is a complex organization consisting of multiple levels, and is open to both men and women. It forms the essential component of political, social, and religious life. Within Bwami, artworks are used in conjunction with proverbs, anecdotes, and performances to form complex, layered metaphors which teach moral values. For examples of"iginga, see Cornet's A SURVEY OF ZAIREAN ART-THE BRONSON COLLECTION. According to Cornet, These figurines are often part of an initiation basket owned collectively by a clan, and used in the ritual display of objects in the LUTUMBO LWA KINDI rite. I have examined this piece and agree with the description. Niangi Batulukisi. Ph.D. 75825* All content. Including pictures, Copyright Africa Direct Inc. 2006 Add Us To Your Favorite Sellers!

Shallow cracks, holes, chips and scratches, very worn patina, Additional Information: A beautiful ... moremask with exquisite proportions and very worn patina. It is a Lega old mask used for ceremonies of the"Bwami" society. Which controls most facets of village social and religious life. Though it has definite hallmarks of the Lega, including its small size, the three-dimensional volumes, like the concavity surrounding the eyes, as well as the dark color, are atypical. Most Lega masks are flatter, almost plaque-like, with coffee-bean eyes set against a flat surface. Their coloration is usually a light-color wood with perhaps several layers of"pembe, a white, kaolin-based pigment. Throughout Lega territory there are smaller groups who not only embrace societies similar to the"Bwami, but also carve masks heavy with Lega style. These groups include the Zimba, Pere, Nande, Shi and Hunde, who live a bit east of the Lega, near the Ituri Rainforest, in the so-called"Great Lakes" region. This uniformity in appearance makes carvings from this turbulent and poorly understood region almost impossible to identify once they enter the market, as so many have over the last decade, due to poverty and population dispersal. Most invariably end up being attributed
