A hand sewn dance apron from the Kwakiutl People of Hope Island, Britisn Columbia. The central image is a Thunderbird adorned with mother of pearl trade buttons and further adorned with a piece of abolone on its brest. In addition there are two rows of cartridges, each topped with a trade bead, that function as jingles when the dancer moves. Two or three of the cartridges are missing as well as a similar number of buttons. Only very light soiling but the belt is a bit frayed. A good example of a 1960's-70's dance apron. 25.75" wide x 33: in length. The belt is 62" long. « Less

This item has been SOLD. An interesting African sword with a figural hilt carved of hardwood. Uncertain of the attribution, we have not encountered a sword of this configuration in the past. It has been suggested that it may be Yaka. Sold by Butterfield & Butterfield in 1998. The spear point blade is clearly hand forged but not crude and has two lines of geometric decoration on each side. The hilt carving has been frequently handled and the features have become some what muted as a result. A scarce addition to any African or edged weapon collection. Overall length 21", Hilt 5.75" and blade 15.25. C1940 Accompanied by a metal display stand. « Less

From the village of Doruma, Sha District, Ghana, this Krobo figure represents the Maiden Spirit that is a part of the initiation practice of "Dipo". Although now waning, the Dipo ceremony was an ancient, three week long initiation of young Krobo maidens into adulthood. This figure, once covered completely in white kaolin represents the Maiden Spirit, which departs from each girl as she becomes a woman as a result of the initiation. This one of a kind figure, is an important reminder of an ancient Krobo tradition and a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful piece of African Art. In our collection since 1994. First half of the 20th C. 1930-1950. Height 34". Happy to supply additional information, please inquire. « Less

This item has been SOLD. Associated with the Idima, the highest and most powerful level of the Bwami Society, this rare mask would have been displayed on a palisade, surrounded by other, lesser masks. Its function is to validate the traditions and values of this all important Society, which in many ways functions at the heart of Luba tradition. While the large version of this mask is sought after by collectors, the miniature version is so seldom one must consider it rare. This mask is quite old and well used, with some losses to the rim and various dents and scrapes. There is a dark, rich patina on all of the contact points that would result from years of handling. Accompanied by a custom display stand. 1930-40's. Size 4.5" x 4.5". « Less
