We would like to underline the fact that, we are not connoisseurs or experts on the subject of tribal art,
we have done some research, trying to attribute the object to a land, country, tribe or people, to the best we could.
The age, if given, is only the age to our opinion, you might disagree. Do judge yourself the tribal affiliation/origin and correct age before bidding or buying.
So we sell “as is” and we will not accept returns if the buyer finds that we are wrong concerning these matters and the way we described age or origine/affiliation.
