Omnibus: Artist Unknown

on BBC One London

The art of Africa is something seen as being as mysterious as the continent itself. As the Royal Academy's exhibition Africa: Art of a Continent opens, tonight's Omnibus tells the story of a bronze mask, tracing it from an antique shop in London to its original home in Nigeria. The story it has to tell is one of magic, greed and an extraordinary, hidden tradition.
