African sculptures, which can be traced back to Paleolithic times, have great cultural importance and are highly sought after by both museums and art collectors. Bearing religious, ceremonial, and cultural significance, they typically depict animal and human characteristics and are made from a variety of woods and materials.
African masks often represent a spirit and are worn by a chosen dancer during various celebrations. Connecting the living with the dead, it is believed that the spirits of the ancestors possess the wearer of the African masks. Even today, African masks and sculptures play a very important and deep role in telling the history of many African people and their ancestors.
