An exhibition of figurative wood carvings in the African tradition held at the home of Karen Blixen, the renowned author of Out of Africa, this collection of fifty art objects prides itself on the marked authenticity of each object as each shows traces of daily or ritual use. We yearn to grasp the power of these African cult objects and to understand the ritual that necessitated their creation, as these tools could ensure the continuance of life.
