About a month ago a very engaging costumer, with a handful of visits already to People's Imports in just a few weeks finished with a purchase. The item although not much in price, size or glitz; an eight intwined African figure stand that collapses, when taken from the Suzanni room caused a cataclysm of change. First to go was the glass sheet that the stand held, along with six or so Benin bronze cast heads.
As I stood before a room full of disorganization dishevelment (due to the unbarring of said stand) I came to a quick, easy decision (or so I thought). I would set the statues together with ones of there same style, tribe or location. The Benin bronze castings already took up the corner, then came the Yaruba head dresses and statues, followed by the tribes of the congo on south and finally cut off by the bed. The grouping fades away on the other side of the bed where Ari, Daltin and I have hung the pillow cases we have neatly all over the wall.
Amazing what one little missing piece can do to the picture of the entire puzzle!
