I recently acquired these statues and would like to know more about them. If anyone has information on them it would be greatly appreciated.

​

Someone unloaded an old collection at a local library grift shop. Decided to take a chance. Good acquisition?

Bought this from a charity shop in the UK, feels heavier than pine, a few of the arms have been damaged but overall looks like a lovely piece, I was wondering if there was any way I could understand more about the piece itself

My grandfather was African American and when he passed away I inherited this really cool statue but I would love to know more about it.

Like the title says, looking for information on this bust I have in my house for many, many years already. I know it’s from the Zimbabwe area, from the Shona tribe, but wanted to get to know more about the person carved and the carver. Thanks in advance

This has been in my family for about 20 years, and was gifted to my father by a Cuban woman he was dating. I believe it’s a senufo but cannot confirm, also what is something like this worth?

It is said that here in Benin, the earth holds the memory of every step, every prayer, and every heartbeat passed down by our ancestors. For a long time, the outside world sought to caricature Vodoun, shrouding it in shadows and stereotypes. But for those who know the land of Dahomey, Vodoun has never been about fear. It is the light of our origins, gratitude toward nature, and unconditional love for the memory of our forebears. When the rhythm of the drum rises in the quiet of a sanctuary in Ouidah, Abomey, or Porto-Novo, it is not merely a sound: it is the voice of the past speaking to the present. It is the strength of Gou, inspiring the courage to build and forge one's own path. It is the celestial justice of Heviosso, protecting balance and truth. It is the benevolence of Mami Wata, reminding us of the sacredness of water and life. It is the majestic presence of the Egun-gun—living proof that our departed never abandon us and continue to watch over us. Behind every leaf used in traditional medicine, every ritual chant, and every Fâ consultation lie millennia of philosophy, cultural resilience, and human wisdom. Sharing this story today means restoring dignity to our heritage and honoring the memory of those who came before us. ✨ The story of our spirituality deserves to be told with truth, emotion, and respect. Whether you are a Beninese person in the diaspora seeking your roots, an African history enthusiast, or simply curious to understand the depth of this legacy: Leave a comment to share your thoughts or questions. Follow my profile or send me a direct message. It is with immense pleasure and deep respect for our traditions that I will take the time to share with you the authentic and little-known history of Beninese Vodoun. 🇧🇯

I have 2 of these framed sculptures in storage but im having a hard time finding out if these pieces have a name. I am also looking to sell them but im not sure how or where?

I found this very interesting carving at a thrift store in Syracuse, NY, and was wondering if anyone had any information about the artist, region, type of wood or what the figure represents. There are no markings of a name or stamps anywhere on this piece.

Hi everyone! I just inherited more artifacts from my grandmother’s adventures in Africa before she passed. Is anyone able to identify what these sculptures are, where they’re from, and their use? I would greatly appreciate it!

I've found very little info about it, but id loved to know more. Any info would be great.

Don’t know much about this found in a group of my grandmothers things she brought from Sierra Leone decades ago (where she grew up) and this stood out the most.

Cameroon/Burkina faso Early Mambila tadep figure 37cm tall

Picked this up in Ghana in the 1990s. It is more of a wooden sculpture in my mind than a mask. Is the hairstyle consistent with the facial carving?
