On the African continent, images of mothers and children are found
wherever the visual arts are, from early rock-art sites in Egypt
and the Sahara to the contemporary arts of South Africa. Discovered
in a variety of materials, from stone, ivory, and metals to
beadwork, wood, and even paintings, images of maternity enliven
virtually every type of object made in the region. Defining
maternity as a biological and cultural phenomenon, the author goes
beyond obvious notions of fertility to consider the importance of
maternity in thought, ritual action, and worldview. Maternity
images of all eras evoke deep and significant messages - well
beyond what meets the eye. Distributed for Mercatorfonds
