Description

This book contributes to our knowledge and understanding of African religious objects and opens new avenues of research in the field of African art. Artists themselves, both African and non-African will find inspiration in the union of beauty and meaning displayed in these signs. Similarly, those working in the fields of semantics and semiology will be able to draw upon the conceptual fields constituted by the signs which speak of a vision of the world unique to African peoples and of the universal principals that this vision binds together in numerous ways.
