On both sides of the Niger River the Igbo number some ten million individuals. Mainly farmers and merchants, they also hunt and fish. They are subdivided into thirty-three subgroups and are spread out among about two hundred villages scattered through the thick forest or semifertile marshland. Only on the northern and western edges of the area, under influence from Igala and Benin, ... moreare hereditary rulers found. The heads of families form the council of elders, which shares its power with numerous secret societies. These societies exercise great political and social influence. They are highly hierarchical, their members passing from one level to the next. There is strong social pressure toward individual distinction, and men can move upward through successive grades by demonstrating their achievements and their generosity. The lack of overall centralization among the Igbo-speaking peoples has been conducive to the development of a great variety of art styles and cultural practices. The earliest sculpture known from Igboland is from the village of Ibo Ukwu. Where the grave of a man of distinction and a ritual store, dating from the 9th century AD, contained both chased copper objects and elaborate castings of leaded bronze. Ibo sculpture is subject to rather strict rules: the figures are generally frontal, symmetrical, and upright, with legs slightly spread, arms held away from the body, and hands stretched forward, palms open.

Hand carved African Chokwe tribe- Chihongo Mask (museum class display
This artifact is kept in a humidity controlled environment incased within an air tight display case. Carbon dating has not been performed to preserve the completely uninhibited item intact. Possibly dated as far back as the 15th century and no later than the 19th century. THIS IS LISTED AS MAKE OFFER! Or Best Offer. Trading/Bartering will be entertained. This is the history that we have been able to ascertain thus far. The mask is known as Chihongo and was formerly worn only by a chief or by one of his sons as they traveled through their realm exacting tribute in exchange for the protection that the spirit masks gave. Chihongo is said to bring prosperity and wealth. The Chokwe(alsopronounced Tchokwe) are an ethnic group of Central Africa. One million Chokwe(at least 30 different spellings- all based upon the name these people call themselves. ... moreKocokwe, in plural Tucokwe)have spread out over a wide area in the eastern Angola, southern DRC and Zambia. Their history dated back to the 15thcentury, when a Lunda queen married a Luba prince Chibinda Ilunga. A significant member of the Lunda aristocracy so disapproved of the marriage that they migrated south to present-day Angola. Once settled, they founded several kingdoms, each headed by a god-king. Around 1860, following a major famine, theChokwe people migrated back and settled in Angola, at the source of the Kwangi,Kasai and Lungwe rivers. The Chokwe are governed by a king called Mwana Ngana,who distributes hunting and cultivation areas. The male Mugonge and female Ukule societies regulate their social life. They are vigorous and courageous hunters and agriculturists, who used formerly to engage in the slave trade.Their dynamic spirit is also reflected in their art.

Exquisite African Art - Chokwe Mukishi Wa Cihongo Mask Congo
Exquisite African Art- Chokwe Mukishi Wa Cihongo Mask Congo African Chokwe Mukishi Wa Cihongo Mask Tribe: Chokwe Origin: D.R.Congo Approx Age: Mid-late 20C Materials: Wood. Cloth, braided netting, veg fibre Dimensions cm: 45 tall x 40 wide Chokwe Mask Mukishi wa Cihongo This carved and elaborated wooden mask is a fine and rare example of the sophisticated artistic traditions of the Chokwe people. A major ethnic group occupying areas of Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zambia. Chokwe masking traditions, which provide guidance, order, meaning and coherence, have been particularly influential for the Chokwe and among their neighbors. As M. L. Rodrigues de Areia asserts: The masked dancer performs the most prestigious activity on momentous occasions of social life. Namely, initiation processes: mukanda, for boys; ukule, for girls. The ... moreperformance gestures agilely transmit knowledge and learning, integrating the young into the traditions of the group. Embodying the spirits of the most prestigious dead(who have meanwhile become ancestors) the masked dancers are the great interpreters of the group’s collective memory and knowledge of living that bind together all the members of the group. Feared by women and children, they enjoy a special status that distinguishes them above even hunters and blacksmiths, because their performance identifies them with the knowledge and/or ideal of the ancestors and founding heroes of the society. 1) Among the Chokwe. This male wooden mask represents the culture hero Chihongo, who brings prosperity to the community. With its disc-like projection at the chin beneath the expressive mouth and nose with flared nostrils framed by coffee-bean eyes beneath a ridged diadem, it evokes power, which is reinforced by its superstructure, which once supported feathers alluding to and invoking the power of the upper world. The power and wealth this mask symbolizes is further enhanced by its raised scarification detail, and refined red pigmented surface patina acquired through ritual use

Beautiful Antique Chokwe Pwo with significant scarification work - Congo Zaire
This is a gorgeous antique mask from the Chokwe. A large tribe spread over Southern DRC, Angola and Zambia. It is known for its prolific production of sculptures, which included both court art and masks. Masks usually represented spirits and can be classified into three categories: chief masks, initiation masks and dance mask– of which the most famous are the Chihongo(male) and Pwo(female) ancestor figures. The mask here is of the female type. It is made of medium hard wood and shows beautiful characteristics: a round forehead with a small carved hairdo. A large protruding cross motive on the forehead, sharp eye sockets and cheekbones, with long series of scarification motives, representing tears- as well as quite particular scarification patterns on the cheeks(made of a small round with three small lines- as sometimes found among the Chokwe) ... moreThe mouth is large, protruding and showing teeth- and the chin also displays scarification patterns. The patina is of a reddish brown- and darker on the bottom of the mask. The inside also shows a nice patina. This is a sharply cut, strong looking mask with a particularly interesting work on the scarifications. There is a small loss to the right cheek. Dimensions are approx 10x5.

The holidays are coming up quick. Give a cultural gift that will be enjoyed for generations! Happy Bidding! More info on The Chukwe tribe: The Chokwe are well known for art objects produced to celebrate and validate the royal court. These objects include ornately carved stools and chairs used as thrones. Most of the sculptures are portraits. Which represent the royal lineage. Staffs, scepters, and spears are among other implements sculpted to celebrate the court. History: Chokwe origin can perhaps be traced to the Mbundu and Mbuti Pygmies. Between 1600 and 1850 they were under considerable influence from the Lunda states and were centrally located ... morein Angola. In the second half of the 19th century though. Considerable development of the trade routes between the Chokwe homelands and the Angolan coast led to increased trade of ivory and rubber. Wealth acquired from this allowed the Chokwe kingdom to expand, eventually overtaking the Lunda states that had held sway over them for so long. Their success was short-lived, however. The effects of over expansion, disease, and colonialism resulted in the fragmentation of Chokwe power.

Worn areas, chips, age cracks, overall condition good. Thank you and please view my ... moreother items. BACKGROUND The Chokwe. A matrilineal Bantu population, originally lived in the Serra de Muzamba, in central Angola. Particularly renowned for their fine sculpture, the Chokwe owe the refinement and wealth of their art to a very stable society and a very sophisticated court culture. They strongly influenced the art of neighboring ethnic groups. From the fifteenth century up to the middle of the nineteenth, the Chokwe lived in independent chiefdoms ruled by a monarch of divine right. Realism and attention to detail characterize these sculpted representations that one finds on chairs, combs, snuff mortars, scepters and pipes. Chokwe figurative art includes a considerable series of ancestor figures. The majority are representations of Tshibinda Ilunga or of deceased leaders(Mwanangana) Other sculptures evoke women, and are sometimes kept in memory of the female anonymous ancestor who also inspired the figure of the PWO mask. Most of these female figures recall the woman's important position: wife, mother or sister of a monarch, and pay devotion to a domestic cult. It is not in the facial expression that the woman is evoked, but rather by the combination of scarif

Chokwe Pig Mask, Articulated Jaw, Delicate Old Work
Size: approx. 17" high(44 cm) Condition: good Age: mid-20th Century. This vintage Chokwe animal mask. Called nganga, represents a bush-pig and has a deliciously sinister air.

Chokwe animal masks are different from the thick, clunky African masks made for the tourist market. The articulated jaw clacks when the mask is moved. Originally painted green. It has acquired a beautiful patina over years of use. It's at least 50 years old. Posted with
