<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 645514, member: 5833"]If his other pieces are also in this genre, he is not really applying the term appropriately. 'Blackamoor' is just as much a stereotype, but a European stereotype of noble savages & exotic royalty. While figures are recognizably African, the features are not usually greatly exaggerated, & they are typically bejewelled, sometimes with turbans. Very different from the Mammy & minstrel show figures you'll find listed as Black Americana.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
