Description from the seller

The selection I am offering here already provides a substantial overview of the cultural richness of the largest country in Africa.

Everyday objects, masks, figures, medicinal objects—these have been and still are opportunities for sculptors to showcase their unique millennia-old craftsmanship.

Each stylistic element responds with elegance to a ritual necessity. Thus, nothing in African art is purely aesthetic.

The packaging is careful, and shipping is handled by Bpost, which offers a service above average at a competitive rate.
