Another copy available. Richly illustrated with colour plates. *** "In this visually stunning work, anthropologist Michele Coquet presents the power and the brilliance of African court arts. Grounding her analysis in the social and historical context of traditional royalty systems, Coquet examines the diverse roles played by artisans, nobles, and kings in the production and use of royal objects. From the precolonial kingdoms of the Edo and the Yoruba, the Ashanti and the Igbo, Coquet reconstructs from a comparativist view the essential cultural connections between art, representation, and the king. More than ornamentation, royal objects embodied the strength and status of African rulers. The gold-plated stools of the Ashanti, the delicately carved ivory bracelets of the Edo-these objects were meant not simply to adorn but to affirm and enhance the power and prestige of the wearer. Unlike the abstract style frequently seen in African ritual art, realism became manifest in courtly arts. Realism directly linked the symbolic value of the object-a portrait or relief-with the physical person of the king. The contours of the monarch's face, his political and military exploits rendered on palace walls, became visual histories, the work of art in essence corroborating the ruler's sovereign might. Richly illustrated and wonderfully detailed, Coquet's influential volume offers both a splendid visual presentation and an authoritative analysis of African royal arts." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Introduction; Empires, kingdoms, and chieftaincies: the king's singularity; Few conceptions of the portrait; History told in images; Insignia of sovereignty and court objects; Elements of archaeology and history; Map of empires, kingdoms, and cities; Map of ethnic groups cited.

Les royautés d'Afrique noire, à l'instar de celles d'Orient et d'Occident, se sont attaché les services d'artistes. Des ensembles palatins comportèrent même de véritables cités d'artisans, creusets favorables aux recherches tant techniques qu'artistiques: rupture avec la représentation frontale, transcription de certaines données du réel comme le mouvement ou l'événement, approche naturaliste. virent le jour dans les ateliers de cour. Le pouvoir s'est appuyé sur les arts pour se construire, se grandir et imposer une esthétique qui le singularise. La puissance du souverain relève de l'ordre du surnaturel et du divin. Absolument différent des autres, le roi est soumis à un étrange destin qui veut que le pays soit identifié à son propre corps : une conception particulière, déterminante dans les représentations royales. Embonpoint, jeunesse, vigueur musculaire, quiétude sont les qualités reproduites par l'artiste dans les portraits qui témoignent de ce que le souverain incarne, le royaume. Dans ces sociétés sans écriture, les insignes de la souveraineté couronnes, coiffes, bâtons de commandement, sièges, armes cérémonielles, parures. véritables objets d'art, participent pleinement, par leur diffusion, à l'extension du pouvoir royal.…
