Dimitri André

A beautiful Mwana Pwo (mooi jong meisje) mask. Chokwe-tribe Angola.

Material: wood, beads, buttons, vegetal mat., tukula powder.
Dimensions: height 21 cm, width 17 cm, depth 12 cm. All wood only.
Weight: 950 gram.
Ex collection UK.
Now in my private collection.

Traditional scarifications at the forehead (cross) and cheeks (tears).
At the left hand side is a hardly visible repair. Because the owner made the repair it means that the mask was very important for him.
The base is not included.
A very fine piece of art.

Mid 20th Century - in good condition
