The living art and crafts of Ile-Ife
Omotoso Eluyemi (Author)
"Many historians, both European and African, often express an opinion that the hands that once produced the great art and artistic objects of the ancient Ife have died without a surviving trace. These historians may not have had time to 'go to the field' and see for themselves. This book summarises the result of my field work in an attempt to answer the relevant questions. (a) What art and craft industries were known in ancient Ife? (b) Which family or families were known to have made them? (c) Did these industries survive till our own time?"-- Introduction
