Anyone here collect them. My mom bought me my first african mask when I went with her in ghana, she worked for the MSF. Since then I've been a fanatical collector of african masks but also of indians swords. I'm very passionate about both cultures.

I have 2, one from Benin done in the style that was popular with the broinze heads, and I have one from tanzania (not really a mask but more of a bust with wood) of an old witch doctor who look slike Rafiki, they are cool.
I do collect swords, but I dont have any Indian ones...yet ------------- "the people are nothing but a great beast... I have learned to hold popular opinion of no value." -Alexander Hamilton |
