african wood carvings

African carvings are symbols of power and ritual in the traditional life of Africa.  They are used for fertility, divination, status, rites of passage, music and many other functions.  The Yoruba, Baule, Kuba and Dan tribes are among many that are noted for the carved ritual pieces in their culture.

Our carvings come from within the countries of West Africa; Guinea, Ghana, Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso and Guinea Bissau.
