"Chokwe Mwana Pwo Angola Mask "
African Chokwe mask from Angola. Female mask worn by men who imitate the seductive young woman through suave dances. The face is aesthetic. Numerous scarifications are visible and have a very specific meaning, such as the cross of Saint Andrew "chingelyengelye" named by the Chokwe. Dark patina, beautiful headdress made of rope net and hair tied with pierced branches. The teeth and ears are inlaid with whites and are highlighted. Among the Chokwe and other ethnic groups in the region, teeth were sharpened to make them pointed for aesthetic purposes. Wear and tear. 1950s. Solid wood and wear on the inner edges (dance mask).
