African Runners hanging out in the street on rue des Beaux-Arts.  A slow season finding fewer gullible people to victimize.
​

(Olivier Larroque) always has an exhibit worth seeing.  This time it was on "Miniatures".  I once asked African collector Saul Stanoff why he loved small pieces so much?-- He said, "Because the carver can not make a mistake"!

(Olivier Larroque)  number 43 was a cool Fon magic fetish made from an old women's perfume bottle.

(Olivier Larroque)  Most of his pieces were not in a case or under glass which can be risky.  Theft is issue here.  Anthony Meyer had a New Guinea coconut spoon stolen this year.

(Olivier Larroque) Darn, out of focus but still worth posting.

(Olivier Larroque) poor photo but a an impressive Cameroon Bamileke flywhisk.

Street art on rue de Seine
