Angola, Congo Kinshasa. Beautiful Tchokwé face mask.
H: 29 cm
This PWO (woman) mask brings to life the first female ancestor in a matrilineal Tchokwé society.
Beautiful scarification marks on the face, with a thin nasal wall. The half-open mouth reveals pointed teeth. The well-sculpted ears support two copper rings, and the headdress is made of walnut shell.
This mask has a braided fiber net for fitting with the costume.
