My parents moved to South Africa from the Netherlands in 1966. I was born there in 1968. During that time my parents acquired many artifacts during their time there. I have I inherited a number of these artifacts over time but do not have room in my home for them. It was an amazing time to grow up in SA, even though we were dealing with Apartheid. In 1979, we moved to the US, and these are some of the artifacts from that time.

This African Art Baule Mask is a beautifully crafted piece from Côte d'Ivoire(Ivory Coast) featuring a female crest intricately carved on a wooden face. The mask reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Baule people, showcasing their artistic skills and craftsmanship. This piece is a unique and authentic representation of African art, making it a valuable addition to any collection or display.
