Ethnographic Objects c. 1880–1960Including pieces from a distinguished Swedish private collection

This collection comprises approximately 30 objects, mainly from Africa, but also includes select items from New Caledonia and other regions. The objects date from around 1880–1960 and encompass weapons, utilitarian items, as well as objects with ritual or ceremonial significance. Among the most remarkable pieces are an axe from Naraguta in Nigeria, a staff associated with the Baoule people of the Ivory Coast, and a beautifully crafted necklace from Niger intended to protect the wearer from evil and bring good fortune. A large portion of the collection comes with documented provenance from a prominent Swedish private collection.
