Beautiful African Female Ancestor Mask Mwana Po Creation Artiste\' Tchokwe Chokwe For Sale

Beautiful small Pwo female mask carefully carved with incredible detail. Narrowed eyes, chiseled teeth, scarification, finely hollowed interior and a coiffure rendered artfully. Surface of great complexity, very hard petrified wood, layers of paint.

About 8 inches tall x near 4 3/4 inches wide x 2 3/4 inches deep. Weighs about 7 1/4 ounces. Carefully brilliant & evocative.

Suffocating categories relating to the nature of African art work to devalue masterful works such as this. This is not a copy - it\'s a traditional tribal mask carved and given life by a highly skilled African artisan. The wood is very old. This piece has gravity by itself - it is not trying to be anything else. A gem.
