Testimonial
“Yesterday was an epic day with exhilarating experience. I walked into a wherehouse with so much History of African art from all over the Continent of Africa. Dave Dahl started collecting these amazing selections when he was transitioning from his Business back then called Dave’s Killer Bread
What an incredible to meet such a down to earth person with a big heart. His Business Discover African Art will be donating a few pieces to Firmina Foundation and loan us a few pieces to decorate the venue.
I told Dave that this will be a great venue for a Future International African Fashion Show & Gala
Thank you Lynn Hauss for this beautiful introduction

Another from my collection of African tribal art
A Kuba Bwoom helmet mask from Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks To Tim Sugden for the photography.
Some people love the colorful, “evergreen”, types like these. I prefer those that have lost their color. Color in the old days wasn’t paint but rather some natural pigment, and the result is that by now, that pigment is mostly gone.
“Kuba mythology revolves around three figures, each represented by a masquerade character: Woot, the creator and founder of the ruling dynasty; Woot’s spouse; and Bwoom. Bwoom’s specific identity varies according to different versions of the myth. He may represent the king’s younger brother, a person of Twa descent, or a commoner. Embodying a subversive force within the royal court, the Bwoom masquerade is often performed in conflict with the masked figure representing Woot.”

This was fun stuff, fir sure.
This gem is from 2008
when Ladd Justesen and I lived in an apartment in Clackamas. I always felt grateful to have a decent place to live with my record, and Ladd felt the same way. This is Ladd’s song—a beautiful love song, the kind I’ve never been able to write so far. Laddie does a great job on this.
Here’s another prominent piece from my collection
A very rare Tetela mask from Democratic Republic of Congo. Yesterday, I posted a statue from the same tribe. Both are not similar to anything else that I’ve seen. The provenance is terrific: Jean Paul Agogue of Paris. This is worth a lot of money…but if you want to dip your toes into African tribal art, you’re welcome to visit my warehouse in Eagle Creek, Oregon and/or www.discoverafricanart.com for very reasonable prices. We also are adding outposts around the Portland area.
