Edizione: "this is the first detailed study of goldwork produced south of the sahara, and concentrates on two regions: the sahel and the central west african forest. the historical and cultural context in which the pieces were made is explained, as well as the techniques employed in their creation. the book constitutes a unique survey of the little-known splendours of the african goldsmith's art." -publisher's description.
