Authenticity & Trust

How does TribalArt.com ensure the authenticity of tribal art listings?

We prioritize trust in a niche where authenticity is paramount. All premium members (Enthusiast and Collector tiers) undergo ID verification for a "Verified" badge. Sellers are encouraged to provide detailed provenance, high-resolution photos, and documentation (e.g., certificates of authenticity or expert appraisals). We partner with tribal art experts for optional paid authentication services, and community ratings/reviews help flag issues. While we don't guarantee every free listing (as in peer-to-peer models), our tools and verified sellers significantly reduce risks compared to general marketplaces.
