Les figures de couple Lega, telles que celles présentées, sont des sculptures rituelles en bois de la République démocratique du Congo, utilisées dans la société initiatique du Bwami pour enseigner les principes moraux, l'harmonie et la coopération, et se caractérisent par un style stylisé et une patine brillante résultant d'une utilisation cérémonielle.
