The Lega inhabit the virgin forest of eastern DRC, between the great lakes and the Lualaba River, next to Luba people. All Lega art is used within the context of the Bwami society for the production of most Lega artwork, which includes ivory and wooden statuettes and masks. Ivory objects are reserved for the highest level, Kindi, while wooden objects are used by Kindi and Yonanio, the second level.
These sculptures were individually owned by the highest-ranking society members and are the most coveted of all initiation objects.
