Hang it in the Louvre
alt text
Photograph of a bronze sculpture, showing a building with a detailed patterned roof, possibly representing thatch, and textured walls, possibly representing logs. There is a snake in the center of the roof, and masks in columns running from the roof to the floor. On the left of the building hang two representational bronzes showing human figures. Below them, on the floor, are a number of sculptures and masks. On the right, five figures in pith helmets look pleased with themselves. One is carrying a rifle; three have art treasures in their hands. The last is standing on a ladder removing a bronze from the wall; there are blank spaces with nail holes where others have been removed.
