註釋"A systematic study of regional and local styles in the art of the Yoruba of West Africa has never been attempted before. In what is a new approach to Yoruba studies, Hans Witte's presentation of the Yoruba art collection of the Afrika Museum in Berg en Dal not only examines the cultural context, but also takes a closer look at local stylistic differences and traces the geographical origins of the various works of art. His classification of objects by local style is based on a vast body of documentation of Yoruba art and on his thirty-year study of the art-historical and anthropological literature of the Yoruba. Hans Witte sets out the reasons for his classification in precise detail, with reference to the relevant literature wherever possible. He thus also encourages furthur discussion on the attribution of works of art and the whole notion of artistic styles among the Yoruba." --back cover
