You can see a LOT of our African artifacts on our website, but not all of them, and not in scale. You can always swing by the shop and look up to see some of our amazing pieces, like this fantastic Makonde female figure circa 1950’s Tanzania that’s currently on sale. This figure would have been used to represent the common female ancestor, the life-force of the Makonde household of matrilineal kinship. (Makonde female figure, $2100 down from $2800) #makonde #makondefemalefigure #ancestorfigure #tanzania #makondeart #handcarved #africanart #statue #femalefigure #matrilineal #culture #matrilinealsociety #vintage #1950s #art #africanartgallery #decorate #collect #shop #nyc #unionsquare (at Beads of Paradise NYC)
