This is an authentic, tribally used, large classic Lega mask carved from a very light weight wood with the heart-shaped face adorned with ritual kaolin pigment, which was rubbed with each time the mask was used in ceremonies.
The mask was purchased more than 10 years ago from an African Gallery in New York City.
Lega masks, are relatively standardized in form however masks of particular importance with ritual and symbolic distinction will have unique forms.
