Description: In the early 1970s, Fred and Sally Richman donated over 250 pieces of African Art and Objects to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia to serve as a contribution to the the cultural life of the Southeast. This is the soft cover pamphlet illustrating some of the pieces with beautiful black and white photographs described by Irwin Hershey. The cover features a photograph of a Dogon House post and measure 11" X 8 1/2". There are 66 pages and 59 black and white plates. It was published in 1973 by the museum and is a first edition. Condition: There is minor wear along the edges of the cover and spine. We purchased the collection of late 19th and early 20th century Nigerian artifacts collected between approx. 1950-70. There are over 50 pieces with a focus on ceremonial, ritual and spiritual tools and also a collection of West African currency manilla bracelets. Many are rare museum quality pieces including Ifa Divination tools, cowrie shrines and fetishes and other Eshu figures. Be sure to check my listings for the other pieces from the same collection. All the pieces have been privately held for the last 60+ years by the original collectors and are offered here for sale for the first time. Provenance will be provided to the winning buyer if requested.
