For Hearth and Altar: African Ceramics from the Keith Achepohl Collection

Amazing durability, deceptive simplicity and an immediacy of form are all characteristics of African pottery. This volume showcases the important group of African ceramics  collected by printmaker and professor Keith Achepohl.  A collection that represents 1700 years of African ceramics.  Beginning with a small group of archaeological pieces that demonstrate the roots of ceramic tradition in Africa, this book also examines the connection between pottery and African village life.

204 pages with 187 illustrations. 11" x  10" x 3/4".
