    These masks would look perfect on a wall as decorations, however I believe that authentic masks should be displayed in a museum than a house. Unfortunately, there are still who would buy this kind of items in the black market, which only promotes poaching of artifacts.

    I love African Art. The colors of the maskes are absolutly breathtaking!

  3. maskers uit Afrika Says:

    Maskers zijn de kern van een totaalspektakel, waarin de sculptuur verscheen temidden van kleurrijke kostuums, zang, dans en rituele handelingen. Die gebruiken worden in het moderne Afrika nog steeds toegepast. Helaas gaat het geloof in de magische kracht van de maskers achteruitgaat.
