"Altering The Way You View The World Of Art"
Type of Object:

    Bamana Child's Doll Fertility Fetish Figure
    20th c.

    This object was a gift to me by a friend in 1989 who purchased it
    from a vendor on the streets of New York City, USA.  Reluctantly, I
    accepted the item and shared my believe that it was not an art
    object that I would collect as I believed it had no historic value.  

    In 2006, I learned the true political and very significant  meaning of
    this peace of art world.

    This piece will be featured very soon in TERA Gallery's Library
    Reading Room.  This is truly are rare specimen!
