It is impossible to define ancient African art in just a few lines. Its forms and periods span a long period of history, and there is no simple way to categorize it. We perceive and classify secular and sacred objects as an ancient, traditional, secular art expressed through various forms, signs, and materials. These bear witness to the life of Africans on the African continent for millennia. They demonstrate a part of their modern vision of the world: social and societal life, science, intellectual reflections, philosophical reflections, and the religious spirituality of its populations.
