Channel regal Chokwe energy with this cihongo mask—its bold grid scarifications and triangular beard once proclaimed the wealth and authority of chiefs across Angola and DR Congo. Hand-carved from dense hardwood and burnished to a rich cola-brown sheen, the mask features deeply incised brows, pierced sight slits, and crisply modelled beard struts. Pigment-darkened details emphasize the geometric lattice that symbolizes prosperity. A pair of rim holes allowed raffia costuming; today the mask is ready to hang as statement wall art—stand not included.
