Chips and scrapes, lost of pigment, worn areas, age cracks, overall condition poor to fair. Thank you and please view my other items. BACKGROUND The Tiv came originally from Cameroon. And settled in the Benue region in Nigeria in the 17th century, affected, as most peoples were, by the intrusive and violent Muslim Fulani horsemen. The area where they settled, the small port of Makurdi, was a busy place for commerce, and the farthest point of penetration for the slave trade. At the time when the Tiv were moving into in the area, the slave trade relocated, concentrating instead on the larger populations of the Igbo and Ibibio. At some point the Tiv formed a buffer zone, forcing the smaller Idoma to move south. Though there is this well-documented written history, the Tiv prefer to believe that they originated in a mystical place called"Swem Mountian, though this region has yet to be located. The written history subsequent to the early 18th century is a complicated tale of alliances and uprisings. This is the case for many of the peoples in the Benue/Cross River region, which still today is rife with petty conflicts and political intrigue Painter Fred Uhlman words- Most of the artists I admired. Picasso, Modigliani, Deraini, to mention only a few, had collected African art

DESCRIPTION: Hardback with Dust Jacket: 167 pages. Publisher: Cameo/ Paul Hamlyn; 1966) When we see the range of marvelous objects produced by medieval goldsmiths. From brooches and belt clasps to crowns, chalices, reliquaries, and even altar frontals, we appreciate the multitude of skills they had at their fingertips. And when the author traces the various influences that contributed to medieval Europe through the Byzantine, Romanesque, and Gothic periods, we begin to understand why the production of medieval goldsmiths was so prolific. The ingenuity of the craftsmen was limitless, and they did not hesitate to use pearls, precious enameling, and cameos in abundance. We can imagine how medieval ceremonials must have glowed and glittered with the breathtaking magnificence of these extravagant creations. CONDITION: VERY GOOD. Lightly read hardcover w/dustjacket. Book looks like it has been flipped through a few times. Perhaps at worst, read once, very lightly. Pages are pristine; clean, crisp, unmarked, unmutilated, tightly bound, seemingly only lightly browsed(i.e. someone browsed through it a few times looking at pictures) However the front and back end papers(the first and last blank pages in the book) show very mild age tanning. Likewise the edges of the closed pages show very faint age tanning(visible only when the book is closed, not to individual pages, only to the mass of closed page edges) Gray cloth covers are clean, however the upper and lower open corners of the front cover show faint damp-staining- though there is NO evidence of damp damage anywhere else in the book) Dustacket is likewise very clean, but does evidence very edgewear, principally at the spine head which shows mild chipping.

Balgariya, IPA: b ɤ̞ɫˈɡ arij ɐ] Officially the Republic of Bulgaria(Република България, transliterated: Republika Balgariya, IPA: r ɛˈ publik ɐ b ɤ̞ɫˈɡ arij ɐ] Is a country in Southeast Europe. Bulgaria borders Romania to the north, Serbia and Macedonia to the west, and Greece and Turkey to the south, and the Black Sea to the east. With a territory of 110,994 square kilometers(42,855 sq mi) it ranks as the 15th-largest country in Europe. The economy relies on local natural resources and the strongest sectors are heavy industry and agriculture. The emergence of a unified Bulgarian ethnicity and state dates back to the 7th century AD. All Bulgarian political entities that subsequently emerged preserved the traditions of the First Bulgarian Empire. Which at times covered most of the Balkans and became a cultural hub for the Slavs in the Middle Ages. With the downfall of the Second Bulgarian Empire in 1396, its territories came under Ottoman rule for nearly five centuries. The Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 resulted in the establishment of a third Bulgarian state, the independence of which was fully recognized in 1908. Shortly afterwards Bulgaria became involved in a series of major conflicts with its neighbours and allied with Germany in both World Wars. After World War II it became a pe

Ethiopia, East Africa. The headrest measures 6 inches in width by 3 inches in depth by 7 inches in height(15.24 cm by 7.62 by 17.78 cm) and is carved from a single piece of fine-grained wood known as hagar in Somali or yucub wood. This superb example has an ergonomic look and feel. Such is the beauty of the carving, elliptical lines and polished surfaces. It shows wear consistent with a dating to the 19th century and would make an exceptionally fine addition to any collection of African art. Somali and Boni nomads make use of two types of headrests: one with a single cylindrical supporting column and one with a double column. It appears that the different styles are for men of different status. With the single-columned variety for young men and the double-columned variety, such as the example on offer, reserved for elders; the more elaborate the headrest, the higher the status of its owner. The purpose of headrests is to enable people to sleep without interfering with their complicated coiffure. Although the need to adorn and beautify is inherent in just about every African culture. Coiffures in Ethiopia frequently declare their owner's age, gender, rank and status; and often they are embellished by accoutrements of a religious nature. At this level they are no longer simple hairstyles, but become signs, symbols and potent empowering devices which require protection. The patterns on Somali and Boni headrests probably reflect the Islamic influence in the region. Some scholars interpret the patterns and iconography as a"form of shorthand for a prayer. to ensure God's protection of the sleeper.

Description: A fine example of Laurie and Whittle’s 1794 nautical chart or maritime map of the southern half of the Red Sea. Roughly from Mecca(Jeddah, Geddah) to the Bab el Mandeb Strait(Mocha, Yemen and Assab, Eretria) The map is oriented with east at the top. Though important to global trade, a combination of numerous reefs, an unwelcoming coastline, and unpredictable wind patterns restricted mapping and made navigating the Red Sea exceptionally dangerous for sailing vessels. Consequently, the Red Sea was poorly understood dangerous to navigate well into the 19th century, until the rise of steam ships mitigated some of these issues. The general vagary of this map is illustrative of the overall lack of maritime reconnaissance in the region. The southern portions of the Red Sea are nonetheless considerably better mapped than the northern extensions- mostly due to the important pearl fisheries in the Dahlak Archipelago and the dangers associated with the constricted Bab el Mandeb passage. When this map was issued, the most active maritime trade route in the Red Sea lie between Mocha(Moka) and Geddah. Mocha, today part of Yemen, was the world's largest exporter of coffee and is the source of the modern term'mocha' Geddah(Jeddah) further north was and is the maritime gateway for the Islamic Hajj to Mecca. Insets illustrate Shake Omar, Gedan, Goofs, Suakem(Suakin, Sudan) Matuza(Massawa, Eretria) and Arkiko(Arqiqo, Eretria) A serious of curious annotations in the upper right quadrant offer insight into the history of this chart. It was originally prepared from a manuscript drawn by Mr. Dodwell. It was assumed, post-publication and based upon French reports that the map's situation of the coffee center Moka(Mocha) was off by some 15 minutes. Subsequent explorations by the Danish navigator Niebuhr confirmed that the locat
