Aspects of these archaeological pieces are clearly reflected in
artworks from ten centuries later. Emphasis is placed on the
several regional styles of figural sculpture, some larger than
life-size, and then even more numerous styles and types of masks
from more than ten regions. These are not simply considered as
forms, but also as intensely meaningful instruments in the
religious, social and political lives of the people. The settings
and performance contexts of the arts will be explored, along with
their places in the aesthetic system and worldview. The roles of
artists and patrons will also be looked at. The book will examine
arts associated with individuals, families and entire communities:
personal decoration, household objects, those associated with
divination, architectural forms, title regalia, cult sculpture,
personal and public shrines, and a generous sampling of the
thousands of masks that are perhaps the quintessential forms of
Igbo art. The book will close with analysis of change, competition
and historical aggrandizement in the arts over the past one hundred
years.
