African art collection on display
Ana Clavijo sweeps up as she and the staff at The Hudgens Center for the Arts in Duluth prepare for the opening of the Susan and William Rochfort Collection. The piece in foreground is a ngandusa figure from the Bambara people of Mali. It is carved from one piece of wood and stands seven feet, ten inches tall. Offerings would be placed at the base of the figure to insure fertility and continued lineage. Kimberly Smith/AJC
