We have picked these things up since we moved here. The tapestry was in the bungalow when we got here, the stuffed animals were purchased at a bazaar a few weeks ago, I bought the mask from a walking vendor at the beach, the little guy with the blue shirt I got at pink lake, and the other statue I got from last nights white elephant (sorry Tod). I love the statue of the guy with the blue shirt. You can buy statues like that of doctors, business men, military, etc. and they come as big as six feet tall. I really want a tall one, but don't know how I would get it home. I would also like to be cliche and start a mask collection. I have this idea of collecting statues, rugs, tapestries, masks, and what not and when I return home I can make our office into some kind of archeological/Indiana Jones themed study. Dark walls, amber lighting, tall books shelves, and decorated with the bits and pieces from Africa. Gabbie could call me "shorty" and I would call her "Indy" or "Dockta Jones".

I really like the guy with the blue shirt, the tapestry is beautiful. What does something like the guy with the blue shirt cost there? Oh yes I was happy to see my ancestor, in full dress, on the horse, on the shelf in the right hand corner.
I am glad you took it with you. You have a cool collection going, Shorty. They will be great in your den, for decos.
oops, it is on the left side of the shelf.
Dockta Jones you took too much!
I love the giraffe... so cute!
The gut with the blue shirt cost about 10 bucks. They wanted 30. Want one?

Beautiful stuff!
But if you really wanted to represent as Americans, you'd also manage to pick out some cheap plastic crap with marginal functionality and no artistry whatsoever - maybe a spatula made out of plastic bags or something??
