CONGO DRC BEMBE Large zoomorphic Owl mask Called “Eluba ya butende na cwecwe” or “Emangungu” these masks were worn during the initiation rites of young people. “The animal that dominates the heights of the forest, the master of death, is the owl (cwecwe: generic term). this mask will protect, in particular, circumcised batende against poisonous eyes of wizards” (PP Gossiaux, page 19) The Bembe are based in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, north of Lake Tanganyika. (Do not confuse them with the Beembe who sometimes also spell Bembe and who are a people of the Kongo group) They see themselves as the descendants of the Lega of which they are culturally close. The Bwamé of the Bembe has much in common with the Bwami of the Lega At the same time, they have other secret associations such as Elunda and Alunga, whose mask helmets are well known by Congo art lovers.
