"African Chokwe Whistle Made Of Wood With A Carved Head - Congo/angola - Early 20th Century"
A small Chokwe (Tchokwé) whistle carved from wood, originating from the Congo-Angola region, early 20th century. The piece features a finely stylized anthropomorphic figure: an oval head with heavy eyelids and a straight nose, a slightly protruding mouth, and an incised hairstyle with regular striations. The deliberately simplified body is built around a rounded shape polished by use, with small lateral protrusions suggesting arms. With a professional stand!
