An Examination of the So-Called 'Olokun' Head of Ife, Nigeria
The 'Olokun' head was first brought to Europe in 1948 for a temporary exhibition. A history of the piece is given. The piece turned out to be a cast from the original. There is no chasing or surface cutting and the surface texture is granular. There is too rauch variation in thickness, and accretions are reproduced in bronze. The authors consider the piece to be a sandcasting from a plaster. The probable sequence of casting is described. -- AATA

The Sibylline Books of Tribal Art
It is a charge commonly levelled by administrators against anthropologists-and by the more materialistic and revolutionary anthropologists against their more conservative colleagues (among whom I count myself)-that they advocate the preservation of primitive peoples as 'museum pieces', sheltered from the harmful influences of civilisation. There is a grain of truth in the taunt-for many an anthropologist must have wondered at times whether this t…
