This is the catalogue for the collection at the Museu Afro-Brasileiro in Salvador, the capital city of the state of Bahia. In it, the anthropologist Jocélio Teles dos Santos explains that this collection is an incentive to make comparisons, resignifications, continuities, and discontinuities between Afro-Brazilian religious art and the art produced in Africa. He adds that as Afro-Brazilian history and culture are included in the curricula at primary and secondary schools, the publication of this catalogue reinforces the view that black religion and world views are an essential part of Brazil’s national heritage. The African portion of the collection includes pieces from Nigeria, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau and, mainly, Benin, the former Republic of Dahomey. The catalogue also includes images of African objects, such as: masks, musical instruments, anthropomorphic sculptures of divinities, ritual vases, objects used in divination, weapons, instruments for weighing gold nuggets and dust, fabrics, and ancestral dignitaries’ thrones, among other items. The Brazilian section consists of works by the artists Carybé [Héctor Páride Bernabó, who was originally from Argentina] and Agnaldo Silva da Costa, as well as some religious works.
