"The art of black Africa is rooted in religion. Africans, traditionally regarded the representation of human features both as a way of communicating with the supernatural world and of exorcising marevolent spirits. African chieftains and kings expected their artists to create effigies of ancestors, masks, thrones, drums, decorations and other symbols of their political power."--BOOK JACKET.
