African Art: Secular and Spiritual Cleveland Museum Art Lecture In-Person

Cleveland Museum Art's  African Art: Secular and Spiritual Lecture

Compare ritual and royal objects from the Yoruba and Edo peoples of Nigeria to learn how their rulers maintain worldly authority with the assistance of spiritual forces. Participants delight in examining a colorful beaded crown that empowers a Yoruba ruler and a 300-year-old bronze sculpture that establishes legitimacy for an Edo king. These and other stunning objects introduce students to a selection of Nigerian artworks from the museum’s collection.
