Description from the seller
Premium Chokwe mask not to be missed. Very beautiful sculptural quality of the face with large orbits and a slender nose. The forehead is nicely decorated. This mask is exceptional here for the very circular shape of the face. Masks like this are meant to represent feminine beauty as their name indicates: "manwa pwo" "beautiful woman".
