About the Item

Unique African mask created by the artist Bomber Bax. The mask dates back to the early 1900s and was subsequently worked on and painted in late 2022 by the artist. The artist used special metallic paints to evoke a lunar effect and draw attention to a futuristic, Martian landscape. In addition to the glittering studs on the eyebrows, the mask features shapes typical of African tribes. Note the shape of the elongated mouth as if to recall an animal, very often the protagonist of African masks. The mask has been costumed with a bright pink paint. The mask is the perfect complement for eccentric living rooms where art and tribal-style décor are the centre of attention.

Angola Chokwe Mask Revisited by Bomber Bax
Located in Milano, IT
Beautiful classic Chokwe mask genre that honours female founding ancestors. Such representations are particularly significant as the Chokwe trace the descent through the lines of their mothers. This is thought to be a dance mask with a net and wood hairstyle, from the Batshokwe people skilled in the art of carving and of very ancient origin belonging to the culture of the divine monarchy. The Batshokwe sculptors were the most famous in the region, masters in geometric decorations such as the depiction of scarifications and tooth deformations, the surfaces of their works were carefully smoothed and polished. On the forehead of the mask, the classic chinge-lyengelye scarification is clearly visible, commonly interpreted as a variant of the Portuguese cross...

The mouth of the mask is very pronounced carved in wood and then applied on the mask. To distinguish the forehead in different areas are used black and white beads to draw attention to other aspects of the face such as the nose and chin. The entire edge of the chin is surrounded by beads of various colors.
