Tshokwe comb - SOLD OUT

Tshokwe / Chokwe: Art and People of Africa

This people has created a rich and diversified art, where sculptural and decorative qualities are found in works used at all social levels. Although court art died out in the last century with the disappearance of the great aristocratic chieftaincies, there now remains a liturgical and functional and inventive art of which the comb is a part.
