Context:
Bwoom headdresses are one of the royal masquerades in the Kuba Kingdom of Zaire. They are regarded as 'friends of the king' in the dual sense that they are actually worn by the ruler and they represent a spirit, or ngesh. Used in festivals and initiations, the dance of bwoom conveys qualities of youthful vigor and pride. According to tradition it began during the reign of King Miko mi Mbul (about 1800-1835).
