Hello all,
Great forum you have here! I've been reading in on old posts for a while now,really great info. I'm excited to be joining the group!!
My interests have mainly lied in the area of Oceanic / Polynesian art and weapons, with an emphases on war clubs.
Though I've become more and more interested in African edged weapons, such as those of the Zande, Mangbetu,Zulu,Shona and well to many to list
.
And as much as I love the items themselves, the greatest joy in collecting for me 'as I suspect for many of you' is more in the investigation of a piece's history and culture of where these great works of art have come.
Well I'll get some pics to post in the next couple days of some of my favorite pieces to show and tell.
Regards Ash
