There's an exhibit of astonishingly beautiful ancient (9th-15th centuries) Nigerian art coming to the US from Africa, but alas, not the Bay Area. You can read a short review of it and take a look at some of the images.
Can you relate this art? Can you place the people who made it in context (location and history)? Here's a link to the wiki on the Ife that includes their origin myths.
