"This book is concerned with those objects of Bangwa art which make their appearance during the elaborate ceremonies following the death of an adult male or female. These ceremonies known in pidgin English as a cry diora cry, provide opportunities for the innumerable dance societies and cult associations to which Bangwa men and women belong. After a summary account of Bangwa culture, the bulk of the book is devoted to description of a cry performed at the death of a paramount Bangwa chief. A final chapter gives a description, in more detail, of some of the more important groups of sculpture associated with typically Bangwa cult associations. For convenience the commonly used pidgin term for dance society what culture association dash juju, will be used. The Bangwa all also apply this word to art objects, which have any ritual significance. The Bangwa term, although more exact, would have less immediate meaning to an English reader." - Introduction.
