Archaism is defined as…
- a thing that is very old or old-fashioned.
- an archaic word or style of language or art.
- the use or conscious imitation of very old or old-fashioned styles or features in language or art.
Arkaism is an archaic prism, a collective ship that respects and shares the world’s kaleidoscope of traditions and cultures, past and present.
We offer a wide variety of cultural art & artifacts, ethnic items & instruments, hand made art, and fair trade items from across the world.
If you’re looking for a unique gift, we probably have it!
