Special Pieces currently on display at Just Africa


This is a fine tribal door from West Africa.

It is carved in the traditional way, with two leaves held together by metal staples. The mask motif is skilfully executed, with the ears, eyes and mouth picked out in white clay.

The pegs at the top and bottom would have been set in clay or stone sockets, to allow the door to pivot.

The door shows signs of wear and usage appropriate to an authentic piece, and it is in very good general condition.

Here are further authentic and fine pieces for the discerning collector -

Shopping Baskets are Back in Stock

We've just taken delivery of these wonderful shoppers.

They are extremely tough and durable, and look good too.

The strong traditional weaving means that you can use them for years.

Baskets such as this one are a great 'green' alternative to bags, when shopping.

Use them for kids' toys, magazine storage and in the bathroom for towels and accessories.

Give one for Xmas, as it is, or filled with goodies!
