So everyone can add to their collection. Info about Chokwe people: The Chokwe also pronounced Tchokwe are an ethnic group of Central Africa whose ancestry can perhaps be traced to Mbundu and Mbuti Pygmies. Large groups of Chokwe currently reside in Angola. Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Their language is usually referred to as Chokwe, a Bantu language. Many also speak the official languages of their countries: English in Zambia, French in Democratic Republic of Congo, and Portuguese(as first or second language) in Angola. The Chokwe were once one of the twelve clans of the great Lunda Empire of 17th- and 18th-century Angola. They eventually became independent when they refused to continue paying tribute to the Lunda emperor. Their successful trading and abundant resources caused them to be one of the wealthiest groups in Angola. By 1900 the Chokwe had dismantled the Lunda kingdom altogether. Using guns they had received in trade from the Ovimbundu. Chokwe language and influence then began to dominate northeastern Angola and spread among the Lunda peoples. The Portuguese had virtually no contact with the Chokwe until the 1930s whe

Congo: Rare Tribal used African helm mask from the Chokwe.
Rare Tribal used African horned helmet mask from the Chokwe. Angola/ Congo. with classic scar tattoos. Hand carved from wood. With color pigments and raffia fibres. Height: 32 cm and more than 2 kilo. One million Chokwe(at least 30 different spellings- all based upon the name these people call themselves. Kocokwe. In plural Tucokwe) have spread out over a wide area in the eastern Angola. Southern DRC and Zambia. Their history dated back to the 15th century. 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, the Chokwe people migrated back and settled in Angola, at the source of the Kwangi, Kasai and ... moreLungwe 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.

Democratic Republic of Congo, and Zambia. Condition: This mask is in very good vintage condition.

Although it features a patina of aging. BACKGROUND OF THE CHOKWE 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 de

Among the Chokwe female figures might represent a royal wife or could be a chief's wife( Mukwakuhiko) or an honored female ancestor. In this case she might be seen as a female ancestor presenting her descendant. Such figures serve as shrine sculptures. Her stature and scarifications indicate that she has achieved some rank after undergoing initiation in women's societies and is to be viewed as a fully mature woman of some social stature. Most importantly. These scarifications symbolize the fecundity this figure is supposed to bring to the community in order for the living to continue to procreate for the eternity of the lineage. Sculpture from the Chokwe reflects a high aesthetic sensibility in the care that the sculptor gives to the complete figure, modeling and detailing the complex hairstyle and creating a most vivid expression for the face. The surface shows signs that it was scrubbed or washed. Recommended Reading: Jordan's CHOCKWE. 75201* All content.

ORIGINAL OLD CHOKWE PEOPLE MATERNITY FIGURE WOOD STATUE - FROM CONGO
You are bidding on a Beautiful and Old CHOKWE PEOPLE Maternity Figure Carved Wood Statue. With Amazing Design Details, from Congo. 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. The Chokwe recognize Kalunga. The god of creation and supreme power, and a series of nature and ancestral spirits(mahamba) These spirits may belong to the individual, family, or the community, and neglecting them is sure to result in personal or collective misfortune. Evil spirits may also be activated by sorcerers(wanga) to cause illness, and this must be counteracted to regain health. ... moreIn order to accomplish this individuals normally consult with a diviner(nganga) who attempts to uncover the source of the patient's problem. The most common form of divination among the Chokwe is basket divination, which consists of the tossing of up to sixty individual objects in a basket. The configuration of the objects is then"read" by the diviner to determine the cause of illness. This is one of Many Authentic Tribal Items I had the luck to buy from a Huge Estate collection of African Art. I have a large group of African items that I will be offering on ebay but don't have a very extensive knowledge of that Art. I just buy them because I absolutely love Original Tribal Art.
