Central Nigeria-arts of the Benue River Valley

the Central Nigeria Art Exhibit is on the first floor of the Cantor Museum and i suggests that while taking this class everyone go and visit. The art teaches you all about the Upper, Middle, and Lower parts Benue and how the art is different and identifies everyone and their identities. The upper part of the Benue River is known for women artists, the middle part of the river were known for their rainmaking wand the Mumye people used this to assure fertility of their crops, and the lower part of the river were known for their Kundal healing figures in male and female pairs in the Muri Mountains.

I am having trouble adding the pictures of the art i took but i will post them when i can figure out how. :)
