West African Bronze Masterworks : The Syrop Collection Chefs-D'oeuvre En Bronze De L'afrique De L'ouest

American architect and collector Arnold Syrop was a pioneer in his interest in West African bronzes. Over four decades, he assembled an exceptional collection of works, most of them spiritual in nature, created to give strength to their owners and ensure their protection.

This book brings together two hundred bronzes, most of which have never been seen before and predate any contact with the West. Each work is accompanied by a descriptive note that highlights its particular features and its importance in the world of African art.
