<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 2296259, member: 8267&quot;]Unfortunately, there is a history of museums and galleries removing the wrappings and magical substances from such figures as these, and Kongo nkisi/nkonde figures. They felt the underlying sculpture was the real artwork and should be revealed. The practice is no longer acceptable, as it destroys the integrity of the artifact (and its monetary value as an ethnographic artwork).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
