Description
First monograph devoted to the artistic and symbolic production of Bembe, this richly illustrated book presents the anthropomorphic wooden sculptures that people devoted to the worship of ancestors. The majority of them are reproduced here for the first time; their décor reflects tattoos, scars and skin ornaments which the Bembe resorted to beautify their bodies during initiation rituals.
