It was traditionally used in dowries, and the larger ones were used as festive attire at funerals. In fact, these kloths are renown worldwide for being of high quality in both design and technical achievement. Kuba kloths had been shown in early African art shows in Paris that the famous modernist Matisse may have attended, and he owned several Kuba kloths in his collection. Matisse’s correspondence indicates their inspiration for the paper cutouts, such as the 1951 Snow Flowers, that were his final major works. After hanging panels of the Kuba textiles across his studio walls, Matisse wrote in letters to his sister that he often looked at them for long periods, waiting for something to come to him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique piece was hand made by the Kuba peoples in Zaire.

Today, they adorn homes as contemporary wall hangings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor hundreds of years, the Bamileke tribe have been creating Juju hats for their tribal chiefs, royal families and dignitaries to wear during tribal ceremonies. The hats are significant when an elder dies as it is passed down to the next in line who may inherit the wealth and standing of the person that has died.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModern interior designers decorate walls with juju hats to create a focal point and conversation starter for your home.

The grassy cloth base of the hats are delicately woven to create a strong backing for the wood slats which run up the sides creating a large circular platform for all the cured and dyed feathers which are then fitted one at a time to create the beautiful textured Juju Hats which are so appealing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique piece was hand made in South Africa.

Matisse’s correspondence indicates their inspiration for the paper cutouts, such as the 1951 Snow Flowers, that were his final major works.

It is a living testament to the carving skills found among the Bamileke peoples of Cameroon. Among the Bamileke, woodcarving large objects such as “Royal Door” requires a flawlessly executed process: one person harvests the wood, another roughs out the form, a carver refines the details, a sander smooths the surface, and a painter decorates it. Occasionally, one person may complete more than one of the steps, but this division of labor is part of the Bamileke tradition, as working together as a community is highly valued.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Cameroon, traditional carvings are often covered with symbolic motifs that represent the strength, power, authority, wisdom, and leadership of the fon (Royal leader or king). Royal animals and insects include the powerful elephant, buffalo, leopard, lion (center of door), python, scorpion, and crocodile.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Royal Door” is about 7 feet tall, instantly grabbing attention with its size impression. It comes complete with a custom metal stand to hold it upright, or it can be leaned against a wall without the custom stand.

It features one full size drawer, four tapered legs, and charming metal hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood specifically is Red Jarrah Wood, a wood indigenous to Australia, which was brought to Zimbabwe 150 years ago for the construction of railroad tracks. Post-Colonialism, the railroads were demolished, and the wood from the railroad tracks were upcycled for the construction of our beautiful furniture collection. \u003cbr\u003eRemarkably, you can see the spikes from the railroads in each piece in our collection. Red Jarrah is also an endangered species of wood and almost impossible to find. In fact, York's Shona Gallery is the only outlet where you can find Jarrah furniture in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood is extremely dense and solid, meaning there isn't a scrap of plywood anywhere to be found in this luxurious desk. We assure you this piece is of the highest quality, and will last not only your life, but your children, your grandchildren, and great grandchildren. The engineering of the product is even more impressive, as it is made without any screws. Red Jarrah dowels are hand placed for structural integrity, making this piece exponentially stronger than conventional furniture which uses screws made of commercial base metal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, the piece is worry-free. It comes fully assembled, and absolutely no maintenance is required while you’re using it. The luster and unique finish of the Jarrah will remain intact for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note this piece is sourced 100% fair trade from our friends in Zimbabwe. We at York's Shona Gallery are a small family business and each of our pieces are hand crafted by small businesses in Africa. These are folks we have known for over 30 years and have great relationships with. We humbly donate a portion of each purchase to fund education and hunger initiatives across the African continent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece is stamped for authenticity on the piece itself and comes with a certificate of authenticity for your records.

These railways ploughed across Africa, swallowing up unlimited amounts of precious hardwoods which had been growing and maturing since ancient times. Since Jarrah wood is an immensely dense timber, it was subjected to the full rigors of a sub-tropical climate. Nature herself stamped each sleeper with its own individual character. Its distinctive blend of beauty and practicality lends it to use for both elegant furniture and innovative construction. Jarrah is an excellent choice for everything from tables and desks, to countertops and cabinets, to headboards and doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt York’s Shona Gallery, we always put our clients first.

These symbols are explained to young men and women alike during initiation. Each has an individual meaning, a second meaning in association with other patterns, and a meaning that varies with the level of knowledge of the initiate.

The Nafana are a Senufo-related group who, according to the oral traditions, migrated east sometime in the 17\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century in search of fabled gold deposits, eventually settling in a region that now borders the Ivory Coast and Ghana. Their strategic location along the trade routes extending between the Asante kingdom in the southern forest zone and the Saharan cultures of the northern desert led to an uninterrupted and prosperous exchange of goods, ideas, and institutions. This colorful history is reflected in the annual performance of the Bedu masquerade, for which the mask was created.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bedu masquerade is an artistic phenomenon of the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century. It was introduced in the 1920’s by Nafana artists to replace a more ancient masking cult called Sakarabounhou. The positive nature of the Bedu and the ease with which it can be understood have allowed it to transcend both ethnic and religious barriers. Since its introduction, the Bedu Masquerade has been adopted by multiple ethnic groups in the east central Ivory Coast and neighboring Ghana, among them the Kulango and Degha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, while Bedu is controlled by persons of traditional African religious belief, it is accepted and even practiced by some Muslims, demonstrating that Islam and traditional Africa are not always incompatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBedu masqueraders perform for annual month-long ceremonies called Zaurau as well as at funerals for important elders. During these festivals, which usually occurs in late November and December, Bedu masks are used to address issues of human survival, including fertility, healing, and protection of the village from both natural and social crisis. Each night of the festival, the masks emerge from the forest and enter the dance arena in male\/female pairs clad in long raffia gowns. While male Bedu masks have been described as having horns, female masks have a round, disc-like superstructure. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe male\/female dualism is nevertheless important, both in the mask’s symbolism and in the performance. The Bedu performance helps to “stress the importance of community and praise the traditional roles of men and women and the virtue of strong families, while serving to reassert time-honored Nafana values in a new and embattled political and social climate.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt York’s Shona Gallery, we always put our clients first.

The Ngontang dance society also used white masks, sometimes in the form of a four-sided helmet shape with bulging forehead and eyebrows in heart-shaped arcs. Fang masks were acquired and relished by modernist artists such as Picasso and Matisse. The African pieces, Picasso said, helped him to understand his purpose as a painter, which was not to entertain with decorative images, but to meditate between perceived reality and the creativity of the human mind--to be freed or \"exorcised\" from fear of the unknown by giving form to it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique piece was hand made by the Fang people of Burkina Faso in West Africa. No factories or machinery was involved in the production process, only artisans and hand tools with painstaking detail and precision. This piece is made out of natural materials and is free from any fillers, dyes, stains, or varnishes. There is ONLY ONE piece in existence--truly one of a kind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome more information about York's Shona Gallery:\u003cbr\u003e• We are based in New York City and opened NYC's first African art gallery in 1985\u003cbr\u003e• Family and Minority Owned \u0026amp; Operated \u003cbr\u003e• Each Purchase Supports Tribes in Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMasks from Africa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Masks were probably the first objects of African Art to capture the interest of art lovers of the New World.
