Editorial Review for Africa & Beyond – by Amanda Knoles
In Short
A La Jolla fixture for more than 18 years, this ethnic gallery features a handpicked collection of African art in several price ranges including crafts from fair-trade cooperatives and hard-to-find ceremonial items. Colorful masks and textiles line the walls, and shoppers will find a variety of stone and wood sculptures, jewelry, baskets, dolls, beadwork, weapons and musical instruments on display throughout the store. Many interior designers shop here for exotic home décor, and collectors stop in for one-of-a-kind pieces.
