Animals have always been keenly observed in traditional African art and are shown not only for their beauty and ornamental quality but also for their potent symbolism. African animal art has long since been used by the many various tribes to depict the relationship existing between man and nature. Symbolism is entirely in connection with this art form. From the prehistoric African animal cave paintings to the more elaborate sculptures and ceremonial masks, African animal art has and will continue to evolve with the times. Each animal within the wild of Africa possesses characteristics that are comparable to that of the personalities of high ranking people or even ancestoral spirits. This is the reason why many chiefs and kings keep art that symbolize these animals or are made out of some parts of these animals like bones, teeth or skin.
