Rare and beautiful Mwana Pwevo mask of the Lunda people living in the border region between Zambia, Congo and Angola. Ex collection the wellknown collector Alain Bruno - France. Now in my personal Dutch collection. This very distinctive mask is a Mwana Pwevo female mask. It consist of a thin wooden face for the face and a solid structure for the headdress. The lines are fine; small scarifications are present on the forehead and cheeks. The one on the forehead is rare. This mask was worn accompanied by a full braided costume dressing the dancer. He intervened in the rites of circumcision. Material: wood, beads, metal, shells, textile, buttons, fibre. One of the large shells has a missing top. Lunda masks are seldom on the market.
