ANTIQUE ART

One-of-a-kind authentic antique artifacts such as wooden masks and sculptures. Collectable antique African art gets value from its use in a traditional setting and not simply from age. It is now very difficult to find authentic and old art and Hemingway only purchases pieces that are both culturally and aesthetically significant.
State swords like this one would be made of bronze with the wooden handle covered in gold leaf. The finial would have belonged to an Ashanti Linguist and placed on top of a long staff. It is gold leaf covered wood.
