sacred, meaningful objects

Drawn from an extensive private collection of African art in Savannah, Georgia, this special exhibition included sacred, meaningful objects created by numerous peoples in sub-Saharan Africa. Works of art in various media — wood, bronze, terracotta, sandstone and cloth — from regions as diverse as Cameroon, Guinea, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo presented examples from the visual and material culture of Africa that demonstrate cultural concepts and religious beliefs.
