Your best bet would be to go on line and using the word "Maasai" These carvings are very well known. Some online stores specialize in specific art work.

I would check local flea markets you would be amazed at what you can find. If you're looking via the internet I would try Ebay or other auction sites.

Maasai woodcarvings can be obtained by running a search online for the Maasai African art or village. There are many websites that offer the unique art work for sale online.

Look for art dealers who carry international tribal and folk art - if you're near a major city there should be at least one if not several. There are also internet art dealers: search for "Maasai Wood Carvings" and you will find them.

There are many online stores which feature Maasai wood carvings, some are set up to help the Maasai in today's modern world. A simple online search should produce results.

The Maasai are a semi-nomadic tribe located in Kenya and northern Tanzania in Africa. Look for wood carvings on online auctions or in African Fine Art shops in major metropolitan areas.
