- w***w (212)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseShipping and packaging was great. This authentic mask is exactly as described at a great price. I highly recommend this seller.
- r***r (319)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseMy opinion holds that Eliza and her Africa Direct have sold more African Art than any other dealer ever has, worldwide; the record of over 140,000+ individual sales here on eBay alone substantiates that. Her business practice provides a model for others: (1)Accurate descriptions of every item; (2)Professional Packaging; (3)Prompt Shipment; (4)Professional Return Policy; (5)Courteous Communications. As a continuing customer for some 25 years, it has been my pleasure to be so.

- c***r (1713)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseBeautiful antique amulets. As always, this seller's items are even better than described--they are so picky to note every thing. These types of amulets are among the more difficult to find, but Africa Direct had them, of course. They are my "go to" place when I need antique components for designing my own jewelry or when I just want to browse--terrific window shopping. Super speedy shipping, careful packing. Great communications--they know their merchandise. Another perfect transition.
