Once again, you're welcome. Are they anything like the masks in the G.I. Jones post I made yesterday? How did you acquire them?

Hi Tellurian

It's not the same style,my collections might be more primitive style, closer to the prototype. most of them are collected from Taipei African antique shop , very expensive, I often spend one month's salary to exchange it.most of the masks are from Senufo,Ibibio,Songe,Teke and Benin,they are all very nice work of great originality.

That's interesting. What do you mean by 'might be more more primitive style, closer to the protoype'? I'm surprised to hear that you spend a months salary on a mask.
