Chokwe Cihongo wood chair - Angola - African Art Tribal

Item Details

Description

Title: Chokwe Cihongo wood chair - Angola - African Art Tribal Art

Type: Chair, seat, stool

Date/Period: Mid 20th century

Origin: Angola

Dimension: 23,62 Inch

Weight: 9,15 Pounds

Material: Wood, metal

Note: Stand not included.

Additional Information: The ruler of the kingdoms of tribal Africa did not sit on the ground in any way, a great diversity of foundations were drawn up by the sculptors, such as this insignia of sovereignty, cephalomorphic, embodying the power of the Chokwe leader. The seat from which arise two small brass domes associated with fertility, is supported by four feet. The contours are embellished with large upholstery nails. The characteristic motifs on the forehead, and sometimes on the cheekbones, are part of the chokwe aesthetic canons but also served as public markers of ethnic identity. This recurrent cruciform frontal pattern would also have a cosmogonic significance. Always worn by dancers of royal blood, this mask embodying a spirit symbolizes power and wealth. He also intervened, at times, on occasion judgments. Dark patina maten, abrasions and cracks of desication.
