Cup supported by an anthropomorphic figure. This is the wearer of the Ngulu pig mask with its prominent snout. On the cup, two faces are sculpted, taking up the characteristics of the female Pwo and male Chihongo Tchokwe masks: eyes in the shape of inflated coffee beans, split and inscribed in deep concave orbital cavities, exaggeratedly wide mouths, large domed foreheads marked with a cross-shaped motif called tshingelyengelye. The male face has a plateau chin.
