Surfaces
Every piece of African woodcarving has an embellished surface, whether it is dyed, pigmented, refurbished, or encrusted with sacrificial matter. This book presents a study of what happens to African wood sculpture from its creation to its ritual use and 'retirement'. It is suitable for students, museum professionals, and collectors.
