AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Songola masks have the same functions as traditional masks in Lega culture. Among the Lega, masks are rarely worn on the face but are instead placed on panels for the larger ones, or held in hand for smaller examples such as the small Lukwakongo wooden masks.

The Songola are located between the Lega territory to the east and the Lengola territory to the west.
