Description

This powerful image is a portrait of a Pwo/Pwevo helmet mask, originally from the Luchazi peoples of Angola. Worn by male dancers during ritual ceremonies, the Pwo/Pwevo mask, symbolizing the female ancestor, is probably the best-known style of face mask of the Luchazi & their Chokwe & Lwena neighbors.
