Sacred wisdom carved in ritual — an authentic African Lega mask with raffia.
This powerful tribal mask originates from the Lega people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Such masks were not made for display but carried deep spiritual and societal meaning, used in the secretive Bwami society during initiation rites. The Lega mask marked personal achievement and the progression of knowledge within the tribe.
This carved wood mask features a heart-shaped central face with incised crosshatch patterns over the eyes and cheeks. The soft beige tones are natural and aged. A long raffia fiber beard extends from beneath the chin, dyed in subtle shades of red and green. The features are serene, stylized, and purposefully abstract — reflecting the Lega concept of inner moral strength.
Used during performances and educational rituals, this mask was worn with dignity and passed through generations as a symbol of honor. Whether hung on a wall or added to a curated collection, this piece offers genuine tribal symbolism and visual impact.
Stand not included.
