AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

In this special sale, I have gathered items from the collection of a passionate couple who have collected tribal art until reaching their hundredth year.
His keen taste for African art is reflected in each acquisition, ranging from statues to masks, including small bronzes, everyday objects, and bracelets and necklaces.

Some of them are still labeled.
Feel free to reach out to me again for more information about it.

Furthermore, I propose a beautiful set of statues and masks from West Africa (Mali, Ivory Coast) collected on-site by a traveler who made several trips to immerse himself in the Dogon and Senoufo cultures in particular.


Decades of experience in collecting objects from Africa, a solid university background of the experts, and the secure purchasing experience offered by Catawiki: all reasons to enjoy buying great finds.

The packaging is careful, and transportation is carried out by Bpost, which offers a service above average at a competitive price.
