If these artifacts are not synthesized (by that I mean understood) how can we move forward? I don't mean mimicked either. Photo's of artifact don't count either. jude is right, looted artifacts are only used as decoration, which I still believe was not the intent or either artist nor archiologist nor collector?

And to think that they have been making money and also leaving off these monies while the real owners are there in Africa leaving in poverty. I only hope that justice will be done soon and all these artifacts returned to the rightful owners with a reasonable compensation and apologies tendered you know its really hard to believe that the British who lay claim to being upright and cultured will not own up to their responsibilities and return the QUEEN IDIA MASK stolen from Benin empire in the 19th century.
