For #WorldElephantDay:
#Elephant masks
Blue cotton cloth, colored beads
Red cotton cloth, glass beads
Bamiléké people (Cameroon)
Field Museum display
#AfricanArt
“Members of secret societies- exclusive groups of men charged with maintaining the peace & safety of the kingdom - wore these elephant masks during rituals.”
“Elephants represented royalty in the sacred or precious objects of Grassfields peoples…objects made from elephant hide or ivory were always reserved for fon (Grassfields kings).

#TextileTuesday:
Asafo flag (frankka)
Ghana, c. 1957-1975
Appliqued plain-weave cotton fabric
GWU Textile Museum 2000.38.1
>This flag illustrates the proverb “An #elephant steps on a trap, no more trap" through the figures of an elephant and an Asafo officer. Comparing themselves to an elephant, a revered symbol of strength, this company establishes its immense strength that can combat any opposing force.<

#AfricanArt collection for sale. After years of collecting, my 40+ piece African Art collection is for sale. My kids are not interested, and I want it to go to someone who shares my passion for it. I’ve had decades of enjoyment, now it’s time to pass that along to someone else. The collection consists of masks, wooden figures and carved wooden pieces, three large framed Batik pieces depicting dance and village life, two very large, museum quality pieces of Kente Cloth and a beaded leather woman’s apron. If you’re interested DM me and we’ll talk. I’ll forward images and prices to serious collectors. #blackmastodon #BlackFedi #BlackFriday #blackfediverse #blackart #artcollector
