When most people think of African artwork
they think of African masks. But many other items such as drums, sculpture, and
fertility idols, also play important parts in African cultural life . Here at
genuineafrica.com we've tried to include a variety of African masks from all
regions of the continent including Benin, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Egypt,
Ghana, Sudan, Mauritania, Congo, Gabon, Senegal, Kenya, Morocco, Algeria,
Libya, Cameroon, Ethiopia, and the Ivory Coast. Included are pieces from many
the great peoples of Africa: Ashanti, Sidamo, Sande, Yoruba, Bambara, Salanpaso,
Salampasu, Bobo, Fanti, Baule, Baoule, Punu, Fang, Tikar, Teke and Kudu, to name
a few. Tribal names and African mask names often have numerous different
spellings. Please note that while we make every effort to include all known
variants, some may have been inadvertently omitted. Please do not hesitate to
e-mail with any questions. In addition to Tribal African masks and artwork, we
also offer selected oil paintings by the noted African painter Andrew Bone.
So whether you're looking for investment quality African artwork, or a simple
African mask as a decorative accent, you'll find many possibilities here. A
final word about our newsletter. Our newsletter is not sent on a regular basis.
Rather, it is sent out infrequently and then only to alert you to the newest
African masks and art on this site. If you decide to join the newsletter, rest
assured that we will not deluge you with e-mail. And YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS WILL
NEVER BE GIVEN, SOLD, TRADED, OR OTHERWISE SHARED WITH ANYONE ELSE IN THE
WORLD!
