All of the individual items in our Ebay store are from my personal collection. These are objects acquired from more than 20 years of collecting both in the field and in New York. It has culminated in the creation of Ethnix Tribal Arts gallery on Broadway, New York City. Since our business is homebased in New York, many African traders stop in my store first before moving on to other cities in the United States. As a result we have the opportunity to choose "the cream of the crop" from their cargo. Each item has been selected for its individual merit such as the quality of workmanship, construction, age and authenticity.
