An exhibition of 100 objects in terracotta, bronze, ivory, and stone -- ranging in date from the fifth century BC to the nineteenth century AD -- was organized by Michael Kan, Deputy Director of African, Oceanic, and New World Cultures at the Detroit Institute of Arts in cooperation with Dr. Ekpo Eyo, Director of the Department of Antiquities, Nigeria. Peter Sutton, Assistant Curator of Painting before 1900, installed the exhibition when it traveled to the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 1982. The bulk of the exhibition records relate to the installation process, opening, press, and related programming along with a sizable set of catalogue photographs.
