Art and Risk in Ancient Yoruba

Art and Risk in Ancient Yoruba Ife History, Power, and Identity, ca. 1300

This book examines the intersection of art, risk, and creativity in early African arts from the Yoruba center of Ife. It offers a unique lens into one of Africa's most important and least understood early civilizations, one whose historic arts have long been of interest to local residents and Westerners alike because of their tour-de-force visual power and technical complexity.
