NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

This permanent collection ranges from the tall Dogon Sirigue mask with its "multi-storied" top, the massive Ibo Mbidiki mask with a motorcyclist on its top, and Kongo figure of a colonial administrator to Cameroon sculpture and a precious collection of brass and silver rings from many areas of Africa. 

Many of the ancient Zulu objects display magnificent workmanship in beadwork: body bands, necklaces, armlets and belts. Other objects include an old lidded basket, a beaded beer pot lid, an embroidered sitting mat, and an elaborately decorated apron meant to cover a woman's cow skin skirt.
