Dimitri André

Ce masque africain Lega indiquait le stade que son détenteur avait atteint au sein du Bwami, société d'apprentissage composée de différents grades, et que rejoignaient les épouses dont le conjoint avait accédé au troisième niveau, celui du ngandu. Au sein des Léga, la société du Bwami ouverte aux hommes et aux femmes, organisait la vie sociale et politique. Il existait jusquà sept niveaux d'initiation, chacun associé à des emblèmes.
Suite à leur exode d'Ouganda au cours du XVIle siècle, les Lega se sont installés sur la rive ouest de la rivière Lualaba, en RDC.
Appelés aussi Warega, ces individus vivent dans des villages autonomes entourés de palissades, généralement au sommet de collines.
