Chokwe masks are characterized by pointed chins, slits for eyes, and wide noses, all details that the woodworker has skillfully captured.

"Striking handsome statue"

Very masculine piece, beautifully finished. Its posture conveys an impression of strength, prowess and resilience, which I expect would have been the tribal intent of these sort of pieces. Will be treasured, thanks
