Beautiful Mwana Pwevo mask of the Ovimbundu people living in Angola. Ex collection of the late Walter Steinberg, London/USA. Now in my private Dutch collection. Pwevo, the female ancestor. The scarification on the forehead, which symbolises a chickenfoot, is typical for the Ovimbundu of Angola. After their migration to Zambia, in contact with the Lovale-groups, they integrate the Mukanda initiates. Material: wood, fibres, raffia. A fine brown patina. Filed teeth. Great hairdo.
