Lega spoon (N° 31969)

Among the Lega, the African sculptures were intended for an initiate of the Bwami , among the many other statuettes used during the initiations.

Height on base: 33 cm.
The teacher guided the aspirant to a place where masks and statuettes were displayed, and it was through careful observation that the future initiate had to guess the more or less complex meaning of the metaphors evoked by the sculptures, the latter largely referring to proverbs and sayings. Each of these initiations took place over seven days and included at least seven performances. The objects "won" individually were then kept in a woven bag carried on the shoulder, in a basket for those won collectively.
