This very old salt mortar from the Chokwe can be counted as one of the absolute highlights of our program. Apart from its wonderful patina, the mortar captivates one through the dark natural colour of the wood and its natural delicacy of the carving.
Not the smallest detail has been neglected. All elements of the Chokwe style have been brought out in this piece of household commodity. Illustrated is a so-called Chief, a sovereign, called Mwanangara. |
