Discover African Art by Ethnic Group
Explore our African art selection by ethnic group and cultural tradition: Baoulé, Dan, Dogon, Fang, Kongo, Lega, Luba, Songye, Yoruba and many more.
Each people has developed its own artistic forms, styles and uses. Masks, statues, reliquaries, ritual objects and prestige pieces may be associated with ancestor veneration, initiation societies, authority, protection or community ceremonies.
Cultural boundaries do not always correspond to modern political borders: the same ethnic group may be present in several countries and may display stylistic variations from one region or village to another. Browsing by ethnic group therefore offers a more detailed way to explore the diversity of African art and compare the different traditions represented in our catalogue.
