an authentic rare late 19th early 20th century african tribal gambling box, 49cm by 17cm by 24cm

This authentic piece of late 19th early 20th century African trial art is made from two pieces of hollowed-out tree bark and is 49cm by 17cm by 24cm.

The outside of the upper half is decorated with carved crocodiles and fish around the sides and handle. Inside the lower half are 8 hollowed out round indentations which contain large plant seeds, these seeds were apparently used as counters when gambling. The box has a lovely rich brown patina that only occurs through years of handling and usage.

My pasion is for antiques collectbles. I now are only operating as an Internet shop on www.antiques.co.uk, as these huge overheads with a bricks and mortar premises are no longer viable. We are passing on these savings to our customers making the prices more reasonable. Having turned to the internet and finding that all over heads are kept to a absolute minimum we realised that this is the best forward for any antique dealer or collector to display their items to an enormous audience globally open 24 hours a day seven days a week. We hope you enjoy all our uniquely chosen items here on WWW.antiques.co.uk
