Own one and you will agree. African art presented in the form of immutable objects are visible expressions of trends and collective cultural psyche. Religion, history, and ancestral connotations of ancestral worship, dance, masks, and sculptures have profoundly influenced traditional African art over the years. African art forms part of a ritual or principles of life. Art is not static. Like culture, art changes over time. Welcome to our online store.
