At TEFAF New York Fall, visit two instances of wooden sculpture which shed light on the traditions and values of two vastly different cultures. One piece originates on America's Pacific North West in the 19th century, while the other set of figures hails from Nigeria in the 16th-17th century. While disparate in origin, both pieces highlight the religious values of the cultures from which they were created.
