Treasures of Ancient Nigeria Book. Text by Ekpo Eyo and Frank Willett. 162 pages.
Foreword
"Treasures of Ancient Nigeria is a historic exhibition of international importance. It is the first time that the Nigerian government has extended a major loan of its art treasures, many of which have been recovered during the last forty years. Westerners have long associated African art with wooden sculpture, which does not survive, in most African climates, for more than about 100 years; hence, collectors and even scholars are largely attuned to recent traditions rather than those that are more ancient."
