Angola A scepter from the Chokwe culture is a symbol of authority. These prestigious staffs were carried by a servant who would plant it in the ground when the chief stopped.The powerful and refined style of the present scepter identifies it as a work created during the 19th century in the Angolan Chokwe heartland. The pallet above shows different patterns, overlapping like the pangolin's scales on one side, and the other are concentric curves of female tattoos.
