Chokwe hatchet (N° 31927)

Tools and weapons in tribal art.
Chokwe hatchet decorated with a sculpted head, engraved with human features and the letters KE. Chokwe sculptures were carved by the blacksmith using small adzes called seso and small knives, then polished with tree leaves. Adzes were also prestigious objects for chiefs. Beautiful glossy patina, cracks. Peacefully settled in eastern Angola until the 16th century, the Chokwe were then subjected to the Lunda empire from which they inherited a new hierarchical system and the sacredness of power.
