Description
This richly illustrated book is the first detailed study of the work of the gold produced in the South of the Sahara, and concentrated on two regions: the Sahel and the forest of West Central Africa. The historical and cultural context in which the pieces were made is explained, as well as the techniques used in their creation. The book is a unique survey of little-known African goldsmith splendor.
