Purpose & perfection

de Roy Sieber, National Museum of African Art (U.S.)

A gallery brochure to accompany an exhibition of Central African pottery from the collection of the National Museum of African Art, which opened January 15, 1992. The brief text by Roy Sieber introduces African pottery-making techniques; nine examples of pot types illustrate the variety of pottery forms and functions. The curator Andrea Nicolls also contributed to the brochure.
