Descripción : Lega Ceremonial Spoon
Democratic Republic of the Congo
These objects are the result of great artistic freedom and display a wealth of stylistic variety. Lega artists worked in seclusion, creating pieces commissioned by high-ranking Bwami members, who generally provided limited information about the required gender, size, and gesture of the work of art.
A highly stylized spoon carved from light wood with two diamond shapes depicting an anthropomorphic body with the concave part as a spoon. An African tribal object that could easily be seen as modern art!
