Central africa tribes

Zaire - DRC - Democratic Republic of Congo

African art from Central Africa Congo-Zaïre is the most sought after, and also with the most chances to be art made for decorative purposes, when you have it, unless it was in your family since before 1950 (let me know if this is the case). Find the main tribes from that region below.

you can read about all African art tribes in the book from J-P Bacquart with +/- 800 illustrations :

The Tribal Arts from Africa

This books contains small images from all types of african art, maps and explanations on the use of them. If you must own one book I would say buy this one, it is very easy to put names on unidentified carving from whole africa with only this book. To get free shipping you must buy for more tha 25$, so you could also take the opportunity to buy it in a package together with "Masks of Black Africa"by Ladislas Seguy.
