    Hi antiquers!

    We've got this ebony head- we're wondering what tribe it pertains to.

    Thanks! IMG_20180128_120917.JPG DSC_1925.JPG

    It is Makonde. The Makonde live in Tanzania, Mozambique, Kenya.
    They make these as souvenirs, but many Makonde souvenirs have quality, so it is not just any old tourist junk.
