African sculptures are images of spirits and humans and animal forms. These are carved with a realistic or naturalistic appearance or may depict idealized powerful believes. African art may represent ancestral deities or may represent their ideas and creeds. The art is used to adorn shrines, to honor the dead or to epitomize the accomplishments of the kings, warriors or distinguished societal members.
