Lega Sorcerer Congolese wood mask Nongluck Chompurat working with Balinese silversmithsAn African mask of mystical allure, it is traditionally worn by the Lega sorcerer from Congo Kinshasa (formerly Zaire). According to Lega customs, the sorcerer wears this mask with the sole purpose of healing, consulting the oracle or for initiation rites. Salihu Ibrahim carves the image by hand in an oval, with a concave heart shaped face. He paints the piece an off white shade, and treats it to appear like an antique piece. materials: Sese wood 11.
