...Metropolitan Museum put on display 1,000 wondrously carved headdresses, fetishes, stools, ancestor poles and soul ships-and other primitive sculptures-from Africa, Oceania and the Americas.

Jazz Calendar, the slighter piece, is a light-hearted series of variations on the old nursery rhyme that begins, "Monday's child is fair of face." Wednesday's child, who is "full of woe," is portrayed by Svetlana Beriosova as a studiously mournful, black-clad wraith, pursued by a clutching quartet of mottled, mock-serious snakes. Friday's children love...
