<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> Rare Mali game board is great modern art!</em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> West African Tribal game board played by adults and children alike with seeds or stones in the style of checkers. This example has a male head carved with skullcap incising and raised block base on the back. Base has severe occlusion which does not extend through the top, probably from insect infestation. Mali tribal artifacts have sold at major auctions recently for $16,000.00. This is a rare and elegant find, hand picked by agressive African-American pickers from Ohio, who personally go to Africa and seek out the older and more rare artifacts through personal tribal contacts. Thanks for your interest, Chas. </td></tr><tr> <td> </td></tr><tr> <td>Reference #: 094</td></tr><tr><td>Condition:Good</td></tr><tr><td>Year:1935</td></tr><tr><td>Country:Africa</td></tr><tr><td>Maker:Mali Tribe</td></tr><tr><td>Height:9</td></tr><tr><td>Depth:32</td></tr><tr><td>Width:12</td></tr><tr><td>Weight:10</td></tr><tr><td>Title:Mali Tribal Game Board</td></tr><tr><td>Style:Hand tooled carving</td></tr><tr><td>Materials:Wood</td></tr><tr><td>Type:Mali</td></tr><tr><td>Location:Atlanta, GA</td></tr></table>
