Answer to Question 1

Responses will vary. The carved ivory, a material associated with power, consists of two interlocking cylinders. The inner cylinder is a finely pierced, airy openwork pattern punctuated by high relief human heads. The outer cylinder displays various symbolic animals. Only kings or titled chiefs were permitted to wear this armlet and other symbolic ornaments at the festival of Ose, which celebrated the Yoruba civilization.

Answer to Question 2

Responses will vary. Working with fiber, Maria Nepomuceno uses colorful rope and beaded necklaces to construct quirky biomorphic forms in this work. Nepomuceno's art was profoundly influenced by the experience of giving birth and themes of fertility and generation are clearly present in Untitled. The piece is a hybrid of fine art (it is meant to be displayed in a museum) and craft art (the use of ropes, beads, and fabric).
