- Lega Lukwakongo Bwami Miniature Mask, Democratic Republic of Congo
Small/ Miniature Lega Masks are called Lukwakongo, and were worn on the arm, carried in the hand, attached to a hat, or grouped with similar Masks in an array. - The Lukwakongo are never worn on the face, but they are rather attached to the arm or exhibited on a fence, during the Bwami Society/ Association meetings.
- Usually, these Miniature Masks, known under the name of Lukwakongo, have a heart-shaped face, framed by a line formed by the nose, the eyebrows, and the cheeks. The face is whitened with Kaolin Clay, whereas the forehead and the borders have a typical brown patina. The holes all along the lower border of this African mask originally held a beard made of liana fibers.
- The complex system of Instruction, Initiation, and Advancement for both Men and Women in the Bwami Society uses Masks and Figures to document the various levels of Bwami, and to serve as Badges validating the Initiate's knowledge of the Secrets of Bwami and of their Rank. Through time, Bwami Initiates earn the privilege to wear and display Masks that might be worn on their arms or faces, or simply exposed on racks or on the ground indicating their Rank before other Bwami Society Members.
- For the Lega, the ultimate goal is to reach the uppermost level of Bwami where one would be recognized as a Kindi, a Leader, and also a Moral and Social Authority to be honored with the right to wear or carry certain Masks. The Bwami Association organized the Social Structure and ensured the Stability of the Lega Community.

Perfect for small dogs!
Color: Spider
These are so cute. My 10 pound Havanese absolutely loves these. They are the perfect size for her. I couldn’t put them away with the Halloween decor because she carries them everywhere. She has one in the bed, one in the car and one for around the house. Very durable and fun for her.

Colorful, Durable, and Totally Adorable! Perfect for Halloween
Color: Bats, Color: Bats
I absolutely love these bats! I’ve bought them multiple times and still adore them… they add such a fun, whimsical touch to my Halloween displays. The colorful wings give them a unique charm you just don’t get with typical black bat props. The quality is impressive too: even after a couple of rainy outdoor seasons, my first two sets are still holding up great.
And yes… I know they’re technically dog toys, but my pups already have plenty of playthings… I’m pretty sure they don’t mind!
