Bronze relief plaque from the Kingdom of Benin, Nigeria, cast using the traditional lost-wax technique typical of Edo royal workshops. Depicting two warriors in ceremonial armour, standing side by side and wearing conical headdresses — the symbol of palace rank and military authority. The background shows interlaced floral motifs representing cosmic order and royal hierarchy. The brown-green oxidation and natural surface encrustation indicate a long period of ageing consistent with a pre-1920 casting. Visible casting seams, manual tool marks, and the non-industrial porosity on the reverse confirm traditional Edo craftsmanship rather than later reproductions. The rectangular perforations along the edges were used to attach the plaque to wooden pillars inside the Royal Palace of Benin City, where such reliefs celebrated the Oba’s lineage and military victories.
