Description
This survey of the royal arts of Africa draws together important traditions from West and Central Africa from the 16th century to the present. It explores the diverse way in which African rulers have employed art and architecture to define individual and state identity, provides an overview of the major themes in royal African art, and discusses what these arts reveal about the nature of kingship. Text and illustrations are closely integrated to present a study of a wide range of topics, from palace architecture to women of the court, and from enthronement ceremonies to royal burials.
