The New York Mets baseball team have been nicknamed by the media as the "Amazin' Mets." When it comes to African art, in a visual sense, the Bamoun tribe artisans are the "Amazin' Bamoun." Their grand embellishments, elaborate stylizing and expert craftsmanship have created feasts for the eyes time and time again. Here is yet another example for us to enjoy. If ever there was an animal that deserved to be portrayed in such a flattering manner, it is the African elephant. The embodiment of African wildlife, strength and great fortune, the pachyderm is a much beloved symbol of Africa. The Amazin's never short on creativity constructed this selection from sturdy ironwood. Utilizing symbols of wealth, to denote great fortune, the Bamoun embedded the ancient cowry shell and French coins dating 1991 into the mask. The blackened glossy finish that surrounds the shells and coins is a mixture of wood dust powder. To further exalt this masterful piece, they added two brass eyes; two solid brass tusks and a brass lower trunk section. Our selection will without a doubt is the highlight of any area that it is placed in...From Cameroon..it's truly Amazin! This selection comes complete with stand!
