African Curios  and Wood Carvings are chiseled from fallen trees deep in the African bush, huge chunks of rock are mined by hand and worked into magnificent Stone Sculptures, the envy of any art lover or private collector.

African Art is incredibly diverse with every medium imaginable being used. Scrimshaw Art onto  Soapstone Carvings, Charcoal Sketches, Colorful Wax Batiks, Banana Leaf Art, beautiful wildlife oil paintings, to the humble emerging African Street Art.

 African Masks hand made from wood and fiber with metal inlays representing the different cultures and tribes of indigenous Africans, from the East to the West Coast of Africa in their traditional ceremonies for both the living and the dead, most of the Mask are highly decorated.

 African Beadwork by the rural woman of South Africa takes on many forms, none more famous than the Zulu Love Letter. This is a pin-on Beaded Broach given by the Zulu Maidens to their lovers as a symbol of their love and affection - each colour has a different meaning.

African Baskets from grass and other natural materials are used in the rural villages on a daily basis and yet these African Products are so skillfully made with intricate designs and patterns that they have become sought after as African Decor. 

African Tableware is an Art form on its own, beautiful bowls hand made from wood with African Carvings, Salad Servers with bone handles, Wine Goblets from Ebony Wood and colorful African Soapstone Bowls are a few products on display.

African Jewelry making techniques from polished cow bone, copper, wood, African beads and semi precious stones are are passed down through the generations from Mothers to Daughters.

 African Key rings are are carved from cow bones and horns, cow hide is cured and dried in the sun to make Zulu Shields and Drums and the young warriors challenge each other in friendly battles with their spears and fighting sticks.

Metal Sculptures are crafted from empty oil drums which are cut up and then welded into birds and animals are sold at African Crafts Markets throughout South Africa.

Hammocks hand made from natural materials provide employment for the local craftsmen with a selection of large double hammocks and single chair hammocks.
