Vintage African art from Africa. Not antique. YANGA-78 artist. All copper.
« on: March 03, 2013, 01:06:50 pm »
Like I mentioned all copper, vintage but not antique. They are from Africa. Just wanted to see if anyone knew of this artist and had and idea of the worth.  The size is roughly 12 x 4 inches.

Thanks for any info.

No haystack !!  Yanga was an escaped black slave who founded the first African settlement in the Americas outside of Vera Cruz ,Mexico in 1600`s !!  I think these plaques are souveniers of an event they have there and also had one in Chigaco with the Museum of Art called Yangafest !!  It is a celebration of black art in America !!  78 is the year they were made !!

Hard to say and harder to confirm. Even harder to say what they could be worth???
