Item description from seller

116pp, bibliography, 155 ills (142 col). Or pictorial card covers. As new. The Fon are the largest ethnic group in the African country of Benin. In their capital city of Abomey the rulers built a remarkable complex of palaces decorated with low relief sculptures, or bas-reliefs, recounting legends and battles and glorifying the dynasty's reign. This volume combines colorful photographs with a lively history of Dahomey, complemented by rare historical images. From 17th and 18th century examples to a sampling of modern bas-reliefs from Benin. Size: Sml 4to.
