About the Item
This is a Benin-style bronze sculpture, likely inspired by the traditional lost-wax casting techniques used by the Edo people of the Kingdom of Benin (modern-day Nigeria).
Description:
A finely cast African bronze sculpture from the Benin tradition, featuring a highly ornate and symbolic design. The piece showcases intricate detailing, including stylized human faces, weaponry, and decorative motifs, demonstrating the exceptional craftsmanship of Benin artisans. The curved central form, possibly representing a ceremonial or ritualistic object, is adorned with relief carvings and textural contrasts.
Dimensions:
Height: 21 inches
Width: 13 inches
Depth: 6 inches
Context & Significance:
Benin bronzes were traditionally used in royal courts to commemorate kings (Obas), warriors, and significant historical events. This piece, mounted on a modern minimalist brass stand, highlights the regal and sculptural nature of the work, making it a statement piece for display.
