African Art Figures


All cultures have their own unique art forms. 

Seeing art pieces and sculptures from different countries always fascinates.



Even though it's impossible to travel the world, one can bring the world into one's own home by collecting art pieces from many different countries.


When I saw the African figures shown in today's post, I was immediately drawn to them.


I love to see the little child looking out, quite curiously, as he accompanies probably his Mom.




Because I know so little about the African culture,  and because it's so vast, there is no way to identify which African people the figures represent.



The clothing appears to be quite ornate and colorful, with lots of bead work.



The figures also look tall and slender, maybe replicas of certain tribespeople in Africa.

 

In any event, these little figures have kept me company in my home office for quite awhile now.

I think they are nicely done and find them
quite intriguing.

They are among art pieces from many different cultures that have come home with me.
