This abstract print has a series of overlapping lines, emphasized by shading. Created in a variety of techniques, the shading creates an incoherent system of depth, as well as a variety of textures. At the top left, there is an anthropomorphic face. The print is sighed and dated (l.r.) "S W Hayter 47" and numbered (l.l.) "57/70" in pencil.

This short, elaborately carved Kongo staff features a diverse range of forms, both anthropomorphic and zoomorphic. From the top, a standing male figure wears a Western-style suit and brimmed hat and holds a small box in his hands; below, an unclothed standing female figure carries a child on her back. Further down are smaller figural representations: a kneeling figure in a position of prayer, a turtle, and a bird on one side and a bird, a turtle, a ram’s horn, and a cross on the other.

This print shows three abstract figures that are roughly the same height, lined up next to each other. Each figure has a distinct shape, but they are similar in overall form. They are positioned in front of a textured background that is more detailed on the left third of the print and less so on the right two thirds of the background. The print is signed and editioned by the artist (l.r.) "Graham Sutherland / épreuve d'artiste".

This Luba Kabongo work depicts a half-figure wearing a striated mask, known as a <em>kifwebe</em>. Decorated with kaolin (white clay) and black pigment, the anthropomorphic mask features a round, convex forehead, a vertical ridge running down from the forehead and forming the nose, long, narrow eyes, and, a wide, rectangular mouth. A highly dense fringe of vegetable fiber encircles the wooden face, completing the mask. A shirt stitched of monkey skin covers the figure’s body and existing arm (one arm has broken off); the uncarved hand is exposed and resembles a paddle. Interestingly, the arms have been designed to be movable, suggesting that this may have been used as a puppet.
