Title: Fétiches et objets ancestraux d'Afrique
Description: "The sculptures in this books, from four style groups in Central Africa - Kongo, Teke, Luba and Songye - were selected above all for their beauty, with a preference for pieces displaying carved signs linked to magic and witchcraft. The texts and photographs take an original slant on these figures, helping us see what is sublime or appealing in them and revealing something of the magic, mystery and fear they embody."--Jacket.
