AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Premium Chokwe mask not to be missed. Very beautiful sculptural quality of the face with large eye sockets and a fine nose. The forehead is nicely decorated. The mask is exceptional here for the very circular shape of the face. Masks like this should represent feminine beauty as their name indicates: "manwa pwo" "beautiful woman".
