    This was 1 of a stack of paintings & prints (& a vintage marine corps swagger stick!) I got today at a local thrifts store; I was in the right place at the right time when they were brought into the store.
    I believe it is African but am not sure.
    It is also unsigned - could this be real tribal art?
    Is it African?
    Tribe?
    Thanks for any info.

    Journey, do you think they are celebrating 'someone' cooking in the pot? Note the figures on the pot.

    the only thing in the pot is grain....
    there's a bowl filled with it on the floor next to the pot...
    likely a dancing harvest scene......african...

    Looks like some kind of African fantasy. I have never seen naked African boys and girls dancing together in an alternating row, with hands held across the front of the next person like Balkan dancers. Which doesn't mean that form of dance doesn't exist.
    The girls are wearing earrings, but that is the only kind of adornment.
    As komo said, the bowl with grain is a clue. The figures on the pot are more likely to be divinities or guardian spirit figures to protect or bless the contents. Or ancestor spirits.

    What is that white thing on the floor? Maybe that could be a clue?
