"I have made a calabash for my sister to take with her to her new village after her marriage. Each time she collects milk or honey she will look at it and remember me. I cut a gourd from it's vine and scooped out it's contents before leaving it to dry in the midday sun. When it is hard I attach a leather strap decorated with beads. Then I carve my sister's favorite pattern into it's body and stain it with dark ocher." - 12321

Certificate of Authenticity Information
Limited Edition Artwork Includes a Certificate of Authenticity
All limited edition artwork purchased from The Collection Shop includes a Certificate of Authenticity issued by the artist, publisher, studio, or authorized publishing house whenever applicable. These certificates help verify authenticity, confirm edition status, and reinforce the collectible nature of the artwork.
Why Open Edition Artwork Typically Does Not Include Certificates
Open edition artwork generally does not include a Certificate of Authenticity because these pieces are produced without predetermined edition sizes or production limits. Unlike limited editions, open editions are intended to remain available over time and are not restricted to a fixed quantity, which is why publishers and artists typically do not issue certificates for these works.
Please note that the absence of a certificate does not indicate an item is not authentic. All artwork offered by The Collection Shop is sourced directly from artists, publishers, authorized distributors, galleries, or approved channels to ensure authenticity and quality.
If a specific piece includes additional documentation or special publisher-issued materials, these details will be listed within the product description.
Maasai bio
As a self-taught artist Stacy Bayne's journey into the art world began in her early 20's. As a model Stacy lived in 5 foreign countries over the next 7 years where she spent every spare weekend in museums around the world. "This allowed me to experience and 'absorb' some of the Greatest Masterworks in History." Fast forward ten years and now a mother of three young children Stacy discovered the world of sculpture. In 1997 "The Maasai Collection" created by Stacy Bayne was released with overwhelming success and was sold in many countries around the world. Today Stacy is proud to introduce her newest work 'Village Life'. The elegant and sophisticated lines of these fine art sculptures are created to celebrate the diversity of culture and village life the world over. The heartbeat of every village lies in each member, for their very existence and that of the community. "Art creates an impact all it's own and is seen differently thru the eyes of those whom see it. I hope that thru my art I am able to honor and celebrate all cultures with dignity and grace and to do my small part to help preserve them. My passion behind my work is to have some effect, no matter how small, to imprint their footsteps into the hearts and minds of others."
