Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. xxiii, 306 pages, 12 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations (some colour) ; 29 cm. A survey as well as a theoretical study of the interface between the arts and architecture of West Africa, focusing on the role of Islam in shaping both. 'Hatumere' derives from the Arabic term 'khatem' or seal, used in reference to the amulets written in the form of squares and applied to a range of behavioural situations and contexts in North Africa. The Fulbe term 'hatumere', equivalent to the Mande term 'sebe', has developed into a generic reference to many aspects of self-conscious design in the West African environment.
