Collection - Color Sculptures
The Maasai sculptures by
Stacy Bayne carve a lasting visual impression of the African Maasai tribe.
The colored collection truly reflect the Maasai way of life. The collection reflects the tribal way of life, rooted in the changing
seasons, the land and their livestock. A nomadic people they follow the
herds and the rains across the open savannah. Surviving since the dawn of
time the Maasai are intricately linked with the evolution of Africa.

cycle. That is the way. And she was born during the rainy season -
