Mwana Pwo Mask - Chokwe - Angola

A premium Chokwe mask not to be missed.
Very beautiful sculptural quality of the face with large eye sockets and a delicate nose.
The forehead is nicely decorated. The mask is exceptional here due to the highly circular shape of the face.
Masks like this are meant to represent feminine beauty as their name indicates: "manwa pwo" "beautiful woman".
