Showcases the creativity of Nigerian artist and printmaker Bruce Onobrakpeya (b. 1932). In the preface, the artist explains: "The pictures are called 'Jewels' not only because many of them are wearable, but also because they are attempts to capture life's essence. They are further described as 'Nomadic Images' because they have gone through some kind of metamorphosis before attaining their present state, either as individual pictures or used as part of an installation." With essays by Olu Amoda, Peju Layiwola, and Ekpo Udo Udoma, and many illustrations of the artwork.
