Pages : 620
Book Description
Excerpt from The Lower Niger and Its Tribes Major A. G. Leonard has all his life been deeply interested in comparative religion, and having paid especial attention to Aryan and Hindu mythology, as well as to natives of parts of Asia and Africa, he had prepared himself for the detailed study of a particular people. The opportunity came when he went to West Africa, and for ten years he patiently studied native life and thought, never losing a chance of getting into touch with the natives, even at the risk of his life, for some of the tribes he visited were not then amenable to British rule.

The Lower Niger Bronzes
Author: Philip M. PeekPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000096874
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
This book demonstrates that copper-alloy casting was widespread in southern Nigeria and has been practiced for at least a millennium. Philip M. Peek’s research provides a critical context for the better-known casting traditions of Igbo-Ukwu, Ife, and Benin. Both the necessary ores and casting skills were widely available, contrary to previous scholarly assumptions. The majority of the Lower Niger Bronzes, which we know number in the thousands, are of subjects not found elsewhere, such as leopard skull replicas, grotesque bell heads, ritual objects, and humanoid figures. Important puzzle pieces are now in place to permit a more complete reconstruction of southern Nigerian history. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, African studies, African history, and anthropology.
