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.
