African Tribal Mask - Chikunga, Chokwe Tribe
This remarkable Chikunga mask from the Chokwe tribe exemplifies traditional African craftsmanship. Hand-carved and painted, the mask is adorned with natural elements such as fur, burlap, bamboo, and carved wood, creating a multi-textured, highly detailed piece. The bamboo links, artfully arranged as hair, cascade around the mask, symbolizing a connection to nature and tribal traditions. The calm, meditative expression is accentuated by intricate geometric designs, characteristic of Chokwe art, symbolizing leadership and spiritual connection.
Mounted on a custom black metal display stand, this mask is both a cultural artifact and a striking display piece, suitable for any collection of tribal art. The "Soup for Scale" photo provides an additional sense of the mask’s impressive dimensions.
