This is our About Africa section, where we provide a little bit of information on the items we sell and the land from which they come, Africa. Aseyori Market recognizes that the concept of “art for arts sake” does not register with traditional African art. African art; drums, masks, sculpture, and jewelry has always been multi-dimensional and multi-purpose, always rooted in the mundane and spiritual practices of community life, never just intricate and beautiful, but meaningful, practical and functional as well.
We encourage you to learn more about the things you buy and the cultures and history that the items on this site come from. We provide a little information about the countries, and the items. Click on the links below to find out more about items such as the Djembe drum, Akan walking sticks, and sculptures. In our Links section you can find more websites that provide in depth information about some of the things discussed here. This section is a Work In Progress, so please bare with us as we rearrange and extend our information.
