According to Web sources, the most recent Zemanek-Munster tribal art auction, held twice a year, attracted a disappointing response.
As a result, the auctioneer has initiated an aftersale to move unsold lots.
For example, this is lot 138, a heddle pulley
Or this example, lot 111, a stool
You can view these and some 258 other lots at Zemanek-Munster's web site. Or see similar items of African and Oceanic tribal art at TribalWorks .
