In the traditional framework embraced by collectors and dealers, authentic African art—such as a mask—is typically defined as an object that has been used in cultural practices, such as dance or shrine decoration. This traditional use is often understood as ritual use, indicating a role in religious or magical ceremonies. Additionally, decorated furniture or household items, crafted with cultural significance and artistic skill, are also considered authentic forms of African art.
