The Chokwe people are celebrated for their highly refined woodcarving traditions, with the Pwo series standing as their ultimate tribute to idealized female beauty. This 17-inch carved hardwood piece showcases a stunning contrasting design, utilizing large, circular concave eye orbits accentuated with traditional light kaolin clay pigment against a rich, dark-stained face.
