African Religious Art

Ethiopian Gospel BookFor those of you interested in the religious side of the African people, I have put together a little information page on the Ethiopian manuscripts that were written on vellum, pictured is a Ethiopian bible, or gospel book, now in a private collection. If you go to my Sold Items page, you will see a Ethiopian magic scroll that is also now in a private collection.

New African Art archers bracelets.

Tutsi African art wrist guard
I have 3 Archers bracelets from The Tutsi arriving in a shipment shipment within the next 7 days. These bracelets were used by Archers to protects their wrists from the snap of the bow on release of the arrow. The wooden bracelets like those in the shipment were more prestigious, adorned with copper, than those commonly used by the average archer who would weave them out of grass, and were probably used by archers of the chief. These items will be viewable under the Weapons page of the For African Art website.

African Art and the Makonde.

I have posted two new pages on my website wiht information on the Makonde and their sculpture. The first is more of a general information page on the Makonde and the other has far more focus on the Makonde Sculpture.
