I own some African very ancient pieces, should one day present them like this… and also donate them to a museum…

A superb collage showing some very interesting pieces William. I particularly like the dance staff. The mask looks quite scary! The pieces deserve to be shown together like this. Well captured and presented

Keep well and enjoy the rest of the week
