Book Synopsis The Lower Niger Bronzes by : Philip M. Peek
Download or read book The Lower Niger Bronzes written by Philip M. Peek and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that copper-alloy casting was widespread in southern Nigeria and has been practiced for at least a millennium. Philip M. Peek’s research provides a critical context for the better-known casting traditions of Igbo-Ukwu, Ife, and Benin. Both the necessary ores and casting skills were widely available, contrary to previous scholarly assumptions. The majority of the Lower Niger Bronzes, which we know number in the thousands, are of subjects not found elsewhere, such as leopard skull replicas, grotesque bell heads, ritual objects, and humanoid figures. Important puzzle pieces are now in place to permit a more complete reconstruction of southern Nigerian history. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, African studies, African history, and anthropology.

Download or read book The Art of Benin written by Nigel Barley and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Portuguese made the first European contact with the west African kingdom of Benin in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, the kingdom was experiencing a golden age. Its authority on the Guinea Coast was expanding through military conquests, and during the sixteenth century it became a leading power in the region and a major trade partner for European merchants. Benin remained an influential independent state and a major political and economic power on the coast, though with periods of both decline and prosperity, until its conquest by the British in 1897. The arrival in Europe of the treasures from Benin produced an enormous sensation, causing a re-evaluation of and new appreciation for African art. This sumptuous photographic book showcases a series of specially taken photographs of key pieces in the British Museum's collection. It opens with an introduction to the kingdom, court and culture of Benin, which is followed by thematic sections including kingship, ceremony, women, Europeans, and animals. Throughout, stunning photographs of the works are featured alongside close-up details.

Book Synopsis Material Differences by : Herman Burssens
Download or read book Material Differences written by Herman Burssens and published by Quo Vadis. This book was released on 2003 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In Africa, the materials that are used to make objects of daily and ritual life are profoundly significant. Material is meaning. Material Differences: Art and Identity in Africa examines the different layers of meaning inherent in the material of each object. Many African cultures believe that mineral and organic materials contain supernatural powers that are associated with protection, healing or with leadership. Some of these materials-wood, ivory, stone, clay, or metals such as iron, copper alloys, and gold-are laden with symbolic significance. The exhibition and this publication investigate the numerous factors that lead to the choice of specific materials in the creation of works of art in sub-Saharan Africa." --Google Books.
