ObjectsObjects in traditional cultures often display exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive designs that reflect the belief systems of the group they originate from. Tribal Spirit focuses on authentic objects that have been lovingly made and used by their owners in day to day living, as well as for important ceremonies. The accompanying signs of wear and tear add to the visual richness and patina of an object and attest to a life well led. |
