<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1015013, member: 6444&quot;]When I was in Paris in the 90&#039;s, visiting a flea market, there were a couple shops that imported and sold African masks and sculptures. Selection was incredible. I couldn&#039;t understand why some were $50 and others were $500 - in the same shop. I speak horrible French and they didn&#039;t speak much better English. But as far as I could tell, none of it was old - it was simply that the better made, more finely carved stuff was the stuff that was so much more expensive. Still makes me wonder though?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s the problem with wood in Africa. Put it in the ground and it is gone within a few years - so no wooden grave goods from Africa (unlike Egypt where some of Tut&#039;s wood furniture lasted for 3000 years).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
