Summary
"This volume presents Arnold Syrop's collection of West African bronzes and has the potential of becoming a milestone in the field of African art. Long awaited by collectors, scholars, and enthusiasts, this book illustrates the bronze pieces, most of which have never before been published, collected by Syrop during more than forty years of passionate, attentive, and untiring research. An architect by profession and a collector by instinct, Arnold Syrop was a pioneer for his interest in this particular area of African material culture, developing what Susan Kloman in her introduction calls 'one of the best eyes' in the field of African bronze artifacts"--
