What we are learning about African art is
constantly changing. Much of the original meanings of African art objects have been
lost. It has been the work of art historians and field researchers,
anthropologists, archeologists, and linguists who have been able to put the pieces
together over the years. Information for this site has been obtained from the
resources listed below and is believed to be true at the time of publishing of this
site. If you have found authoritative information that contradicts what is presented
