This authentic Chokwe female ceremonial mask is a traditional handcrafted wooden work originating from the Central and Southern African region (primarily Angola, DRC, and Zambia). Known as a Pwo (female ancestor) figure, this highly stylized mask embodies lineage, fertility, and wisdom. Historically, these masks were worn by male dancers during adulthood initiation ceremonies to honor the female ancestor.
