DESCRIPTION:Unusual image of two African bush men with bows and arrows in front of a painted studio backdrop of jungle foliage. The floor is a mix of chopped up branches and a European carpet. With more research, perhaps the photographer can be identified through the pattern of the carpet. The single word "Afrika" is in pencil below the image on the mount. Possibly Singhalese archers. Shipping and insurance costs will be added to the price and must be paid for by the buyer. Pennsylvania and New York buyers must pay appropriate sales tax. International clients are responsible for their VAT and other custom's oriented charges.
