Star Lot: An outstanding antique tribal example of Pwo, a classic Chokwe mask genre that honors founding female ancestors. Inscribed motifs on the mask's forehead and cheeks are classic graphic designs that aesthetically enhanced a woman's beauty in past generations and were signs of ethnic identity. The surface is a rich, reddish brown color, probably obtained from a mixture of red clay and oil, and has a beautiful patina, a sign of long use. There is a video of the lot on our social media pages on Facebook, Instagram and tic tok.
