Very old Lega Idimu mask that was directly connected to Bwami. Ritual mask of a Kindi, a high-ranking member of that society. Purchased from a private collection, it was collected in the 1950s. Obvious patina of age. Break at the top, on the back, visible in the photo. Soft and light wood. A very beautiful mask for a collection.
