INDIANAPOLIS, IN.- A landmark exhibition of African art, Dynasty and Divinity: Ife Art in Ancient Nigeria presents a glimpse of the extraordinary accomplishments of the legendary royal city-state of the Yoruba people from the 12th-15th centuries. During this period, Ife (pronounced “EE-fay”) was ruled by powerful sacred kings and queens, whose images are captured in stunningly naturalistic cast copper-alloy and terra-cotta heads and figures. The exhibition is on view in the Indianapolis Museum of Art from July 8th through January 16, 2012.
