Jacaranda Tribal is currently presenting a new online exhibit devoted to beautiful, diminutive tribal works from southern and central Africa, New Guinea, North America, and elsewhere. From tiny ivory carvings from the Congo to antique fish hooks from the far reaches of the Pacific, these works embody a quiet beauty that draws the viewer in, inviting one to a closer examination of elegance.
