Message:: [QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4167385, member: 8267"]Acknowledging komo's point, in closing.......... [USER=19384]@Petunia[/USER], you are not responsible for creating these figures. But you should be responsible for breaking the chain of misinformation about them, particularly after the advice you received here. The circumstances under which you acquired them, or how much you paid for them, does not have any bearing on the truth of what they are (and are not). You admit you are unfamiliar with such objects. Several knowledgeable people on the forum have told you that these figures are not African made, nor do they represent Africans. They are caricatures made in Indonesia (regardless of where the elder traveler may have acquired them). But your ebay listing still describes them as "Tribal African figures". This is the reason so many of us are upset with you.[/QUOTE]
