Indepth Arts News: "African, Oceanic, and Ancient American Art: Recent Acquisitions" 2001-05-22 until 2001-10-28 Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, NY, USA
The
exhibition will range from a group of Christian crosses made of brass by the
Kongo peoples of Angola/Democratic Republic of Congo from the 16th to the
19th century, when Catholicism and the introduction of Christian icons led to
a local transformation of the western prototype; to personal ornaments of
gold, shell, and seeds from Island South East Asia; to works of ceramic made
by the Maya peoples of the tropical lowlands of Mexico/Guatemala more than
a thousand years ago.
