CIHONGO Mask - Wood - Chokwe - DR Congo
No. 85156633
Very old Cihongo mask of the Angola people living in the D.R.Congo. Ex collection of the wellknown Richard Dams - Belgium. Now in my personal Dutch collection.
This is the male mask danced by the Chokwe. Mwana Pwo is the female mask.
Material: wood, pigment, kaolin, fibre, twigs, textile, buttons, metal. Traditional cross on the forehead, tears below the eyes. A very impressive old mask with a fantastic coiffure made of basketwork.
