The Chokwe people number over one million in population, have spread over a wide territorial range, from Angola, to the DRC, to Zambia. Both hunters and farmers, the Chokwe people once engaged in the African slave trade, and have a history of large and complex social kingdoms. Known widely for their exceptional artistic talents, the Chokwe(a name for which their are more than thirty different spelling and dialectic variations) are extremely proficient carvers, producing highly elaborate and detailed sculptures, masks, and in their more recent history, quite regal chairs and instruments.

Beautifully carved, and quite intimidating, featuring numerous identifying scarification marks. It has come to us from the Congo region of the Chokwe's territory. The eyes are narrowed to slits as is typical for these masks, which is intended to represent the closed eyes of the deceased. They are pigmented with red, as are the lips, and the pigment has become muddied with age. The mask's hairline is intricately detailed as are the scarification marks that cover much of its surface. The patina is a rich chocolate brown. The piece is in good condition, displaying typical age related wear marks, though it shows few signs of use. It has suffered some damage to the upper right hand side of the coiffure area, but the damage appears to be very old. It is a beautiful example of the pwo mask style. Large and impressive, and will prove to be a beautiful addition to a collection!
