Description |
Among the Bushoong, the central Kuba group, the mask known as bwoom—most typically identified as the head of a pygmy—forms a triad with a female mask and another male mask. All three are protagonists in the re-enactment of the foundation of the Kuba kingdom. Outside the capital, however, bwoom appears in different nonroyal contexts, such as the men’s initiation society. |
