CIHONGO TSHOKWE MASK, Angola - Lot 11
CIHONGO TSHOKWE MASK, Angola Hardwood with brown patina, black pigments. H. 21.5 cm Male Cihongo face, with slit coffee bean eyes inscribed in deep sockets. The straight, pinched nose surmounts a stretched mouth, open to blunt teeth. Scarifications mark the temples and cheeks. A wide palette in a horizontal plateau indicates a beard under the face, while a short headdress is depicted on top of the head. Peripheral holes are provided for attachment. Cihongo masks represent a male spirit, associated with the idea of power as much as wealth, whose role is to bring order and prosperity to the village.
