Description
The 1970 original exhibition poster "Divine Kingship in Africa" for the Museum of Mankind, part of the Ethnography Department of the British Museum in London, stands as a significant artifact in the realm of cultural exhibitions. This poster heralded an important exhibit that explored the intricate and profound concept of divine kingship across various African cultures.
The exhibition, held at 6 Burlington Gardens, London, sought to delve into the spiritual and political dimensions of African monarchies, where rulers were often perceived as divine or semi-divine figures. This perception of kingship, deeply embedded in the spiritual and societal fabrics of many African societies, underscored the sacred nature of leadership and governance in these cultures. By presenting artifacts, ceremonial objects, and art, the exhibit aimed to provide a comprehensive understanding of how divinity and authority intertwined to shape the lives and histories of African communities.
"Divine Kingship in Africa" was more than just an exhibition; it was an educational journey that offered visitors insights into the complex and diverse ways in which African societies conceptualized and revered their leaders. The exhibit highlighted the roles of kings not only as political figures but also as spiritual leaders, mediators between the human and the divine. Through this lens, the exhibition sought to foster a deeper appreciation and respect for the rich cultural heritage of Africa.
The Museum of Mankind, as part of the British Museum's Ethnography Department, was instrumental in curating and presenting such culturally significant exhibitions. It provided a platform for cross-cultural understanding and showcased the importance of ethnographic studies in preserving and interpreting the cultural narratives of different societies. The exhibition on divine kingship was a testament to the museum's commitment to highlighting the depth and diversity of human cultures.

We want everybody鈥檚 Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don鈥檛 go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren鈥檛 sure about a piece鈥檚 condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn鈥檛 the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn鈥檛 what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you鈥檒l receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don鈥檛 feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you鈥檒l be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.

What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can鈥檛 cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item鈥檚 condition.

To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they鈥檝e received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don鈥檛 recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
