AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Christmas Auction - All items without reserve price. All items paid for on the evening of the auction will be shipped the next day.
Among the peoples of Central and West Africa, artifacts such as sculptures, platters, baskets, animal horns, rubbing devices, and slit drums are essential to the effectiveness of divination rituals, which are attempts by individuals, families, or communities to discern through diviners the causes and meanings of anxiety, misfortunes, conflicts, losses, and death. Although these instruments only need to be rudimentary for the ritual to be performed, the aesthetic power of the ritual objects, created with imagination and skill, enhances their ability to convey meaning. Generously illustrated, this volume demonstrates that ritual objects contribute to the purpose of divinatory rituals and that, for the peoples of sub-Saharan Africa, insight and art are inextricably linked.
