At "Tribal Design", the gallery of drs Els Verhey you will find objects from Oceanie, Africa, Indonesia and beyond. Your eye falls immediately on fantastic dance ornaments and authentic ceremonial masks from Papua New Guinea or a wooden Royal Ashanti seat from Ghana. Then there are tiny moments of beauty-silver bracelets from Ethiopia and the Golden Triangle, Golden earrings from India, or perhaps, a Polynesian necklace. Posessions once personally treasured.
