Tulualembe mask-shield (Yela) - EO.0.0.29612
1st quarter of the 20th century. Wood (Alstonia congensis). RD Congo. Registered in 1927. Collected by V. Benoit (1920s).
Tulualembe masks were no longer being made in the 1920s. Their function can probably be traced back to the lilwa society, which organized aspects of the social life of the Yela.
