Lega masks are heart-shaped with concave faces that feature a delicate mouth and eyes shaped like cowrie shells. Surprisingly, the masks are rarely worn on the face, but are attached to different parts of the body, hung on fences, held in the hand, or worn over the forehead with the beard draping over the face. The masks are most frequently used during initiation ceremonies.
