MAKONDE, GAMEBOARD (Mankala) 1, 26.5", $400, Tanzania
Makonde gameboards range from everyday objects with monumental, simple
forms to ornate pieces bringing status to the owner. They all show the creativity
and power Africans put into functional objects. Two have double heads similar
to the better known Makonde helmet masks. This one has native metal repairs
to patch holes aand keep it functional.
