Mwana Pwo mask

A Mwana Pwo mask linked to dance

The Mwana Pwo mask is a wall decoration from the Congo dating from the 20th century. Offered by Versmissen, this piece combines several materials to form a decorative composition with an antique and ethnic style. It can be displayed alone as a centrepiece or added to a collection devoted to the forms and stories of African art.

This mask is used by men to imitate seductive young women during graceful dances. This function provides cultural context for its silhouette and complements its decorative appeal. The product is available in different versions, each identified by its own reference. The features of the selected version should therefore be checked before making a selection.
