You are just one click away from
a treasure trove of tribal art.

Collectors of fine tribal art, including African art, Aboriginal art from Australia, Arctic art and Native American art, share a common appreciation of the cultural roots from which each object emerges. Regardless of the object's source, its value lies in a combination of its authenticity: its relationship to tribal ceremonies, beliefs, rituals, and images that are part of tribal life and its aesthetic appeal. Otherwise, these objects might only be "curiosities."

It is the combination of tribal authenticity and aesthetic appeal that transforms each artifact into a work of art.
As a result, while there are hundreds of thousands of tribal artifacts available, few pieces qualify as fine art. You will find them in museums, in private collections, and in a few galleries that act as facilitators between the sources and the art collectors attracted to them. Aboriginals: Art of the First Person is privileged to play that role on the world wide web.
