Edited by Doran H. Ross
Elephant: the animal and its ivory in African culture
Los Angeles
1992
Paperback: 415 pages
Publisher: University of California Los Angeles, Fowler
1995
Language: English
ISBN: 0930741269
Approximately 260 colour and 235 black & white photographs. 18 black & white line drawings. 7 maps.
This book was published in 1992 by Fowler Museum of Cultural History, University of California, LA.
It has a lot of pictures of art carved from ivory, and is a haunting glimpse into the countless suffering that took place to allow the creation of this 'art'. Apart from this, there is a fair amount of information on elephant evolutionary history, folklore, physical and environmental data.
Book Description The elephant is abundantly represented in African culture. In this lavishly illustrated anthology, eighteen scholars pay homage to both the African elephant and African creativity. The elephant's natural history is the starting point for this collection. Other essays discuss the animal's place in religious imagery, local economies, and regional cultures. The global appetite for ivory and the consequences of the ivory trade are the focus of two essays and of the epilogue, which also discusses the elephant as an endangered species. This volume bridges the gap that often separates the scholar from the general reader. Its visual mini-essays are entertaining and also broaden the scope of the book, and the spectacular photographs invite hours of pleasurable exploration.
About the Author:
Doran H. Ross is Deputy Director and Curator of African Collections at the Fowler Museum of Cultural History.

Verlag Fred Jahn
1992
347 pages
ART AFRICAN HISTORY NDAAKA
Fold out map in back
Text in German and English
An extensive exploration of the art of the Ituri, the author takes us into the small towns of northeastern Zaire where he studied primarily Ndaaka art and religious tradition.
The book includes numerous color reproductions of masks and fold out maps; 4to
Written somewhat like a good detective mystery, the author takes us step by step as he uncovers the masking tradition of a people who live mainly in an area in northeastern Zaire known as Ituri, and among whom the Ndaaka are the central ethnic unit. Virtually nothing had been known of the art of the peoples of Ituri, and in this fascinating tale we learn how their art has been recently discovered/rediscovered, and we see examples of the splendid masks that were uncovered. The text takes us into the villages from which the masks emerged and then discusses the masks and the rituals in which they were used.
