Small Lega masks are called Lukwakongo and were worn on the arm, carried in the hand, attached to a hat or grouped with similar masks .Lega art is exclusively focused on and associated with the Bwami society, and each object has a precise role and function within their ceremonies and rituals and is used only to be initiated.
