Comments mailing list Add to favorite sellers Toggle navigation Menu WHO ARE WE Payment Methods CONTACT Menu WHO ARE WE Payment Methods CONTACT Product Description Chokwe mask – Former Zaire Product Description ENGLISH SPEAKING Total dimensions with ornaments approximately 38 x 25 x 26 cms.Dimensions of the mask 24 cm high.Weight: 0.670 kg without packaging.Materials: Wood, plant fibers.Assumed seniority: More than 40 years. Mask of the Chokwe ethnic group, “Mawana Pwo” type, from the former Zaire.Very expressive piece, with a very beautiful patina, attesting to a certain age.THE mask “pwo” (woman) or “mwana pwo” (young woman) symbolizes the female ancestor and appears in dances conducive to fertility.Worn by a man who mimes the women’s dance and teaches them graceful manners.The mask “Pwo” of the female ancestor is always carried by men whom it transforms into powerful beings.Their exhibition before the village assembly has a magical character: they bring prosperity and fertility. But, mastered by sorcerers, they can become “Wanga“evil.Acquiring a mask is a kind of mystical marriage. The dancer gives the sculptor a copper ring, the symbolic prize of the “bride.” This marriage imposes moral and ritual obligations, violating them brings the wrath of the ancestor’s spirit and punishments attributed to his magic.After the death of the dancer, the mask is often buried due to superstitious fear. It was buried in an isolated and marshy place. A bracelet signifying the restitution of the “dowry” is placed near the mask. In the same way, the dancer buries a mask which can no longer be used.The exhibition of the female mask “Pwo”dispenses fertility to the spectators. He sometimes dances with a statuette representing a child carried on his mother’s back. The dancer disguised as a woman wears artificial breasts, a cotton skirt and a heavy crescent-shaped beaded belt. He is holding a rattle and a fly swatter. The dance consists of back movements punctuated by the skipping of the belt. By studying the serious appearance and elegant gestures of “Pwo”, women would learn grace of manners.The mask must be sculpted according to standards, and reflect the collective idea of ​​the ancestral spirits. Some masks, however, are individualized; the sculptor then takes a certain freedom with regard to the proportions and features of the face (shape of the nose, mouth or ears). The artist is inspired by the physiognomy of a woman admired for her beauty. As he must work away from female gazes, he observes his model at length, often for many days, the time it takes for him to memorize her features. The woman’s tattoos and hairstyle also inspire the sculptor. “Cihongo” And “Pwo” often appear together, as protectors, on the backs of chairs. Most often, the mask “Pwo” is symbolized by a macaron engraved or in bas-relief on sticks, combs, sanza.According to Marie-Louise Bastin Any comments? A question? Do not hesitate to contact us.
