Description: Iginga Sakimatwematwe Tribal Sculpture: Multi-headed, belonging to an initiate of the 'Bwani': "powerful things". The shape of a central trunk around which two janiform diamond faces overlap. Face coated with kaolin, on chest, and perforations throughout the statue, a vegetable raffia loincloth on the hips. The Lege settled on the west bank of the Lualaba River in D.D.C. The body is perforated with holes referring to destructive work by red ants, also linked to laziness and sexual debauchery. This figurine would illustrate the need for a comprehensive view of events, hence the wisdom, caution, impartiality that was to come with it.The teacher guided the aspirant to a place where masks and statuettes were displayed, and it was through careful observation that the future initiate guessed the more or less meaning of these metaphors. The latter refer to proverbs and sayings.Each of these initiations took place over seven days and featured at least seven performances. Items ' Masengo', "earned" were then kept in a woven shoulder bag.
