Cihongo Mask from a noble elder - from the Tschokwe People (Zaire, Angola) blackened wood, fibers, kaolin in the mouth, black pigment. 

This male Cihongo mask depicts A elderly man of noble rank. This mask is from small size, often described as passport masks. It is the counterpart of the female Mwana Pwo mask which portrays a young girl. 

The beard carved below the chin of the Cihongo mask is also worn by Chokwe elders, and in the past was only allowed to the chief or one of his sons as the use of Cihongo mask

The Cihongo mask often performs together with the female Mwana Pwo mask for the fertility and to bring prosperity of the community.
