Provenance: From the Janine and Josef Gugler collection of African Art assembled between 1961 and the early 1970´s. Josef (Professor Emeritus in Sociology) and his wife Janine (Artist) visited Nigeria for a 15 month research project 1961 and started to buy African art. During the 1960´s they did many travels to different African countries and, while working there, collected a lot of traditional African art. A handful of objects were also acquired from private collections both in the United States and Europe. The Guglers donated 126 African objects to the UCONN Benton Museum of Art.
