Chokwe - DR Congo

Chokwe masks, in African art, have a male association, the Mukanda, which uses about thirty masks for various social purposes linked to the ancestors: the Pwo mask, kakelwa, cikunza, but also this animal mask type the Ngulu accessorized with wickerwork. It is accompanied by various objects.

The obscene behavior that accompanied its exhibition contrasted with the other masked dances.

The Chokwe, of Bantu culture, had settled in the east of Angola but also in Congo and Zambia. Following various alliances, they mingled with the Lunda who taught them hunting.
