Their work was brought to Europe following a punitive expedition by the British in 1897, causing a great sensation. The people of Benin, called Bini, are descendant from the Ife, also known for their remarkable Bronze. Almost all Benin art was created to honor the King. or Oba. These plaque were mounted on the walls of the Oba's Palace and record the history of the Benin Kingdom. Most depict the king or warrior Chiefs. The Benin Empire dates back to prehistoric times. The political systems that were monarchial, were well established before the fourteenth century. The Rulers of Benin and Yoruba had close ties, and by the fifteenth century Benin became and important power in the region. With the backing of the monarchy selected artists of Benin developed a special style of sculpture vastly different from the rest of the region. They produced many fine bronze and or brass heads, figurines, brass plaques, and large rectangular metal pictures, which were used to decorate the Oba's palace. The Benin Empire soon became the largest of the political systems of the Guinea Coast and toward the middle of the sixteenth century; the Oba ruled an area.

In Edo culture dwarfs were known as the jugglers and acrobats in the Oba court.

The capital city of the Edo people in Nigeria as early as the mid 1600s. The plaques which were attached to pillars in various rooms of the palace. Are conservatively dated to have been made as early as 1550 to the 1650 and apparently fell out of use sometime in the early 1700s. These wonderfully sculpted plaques show ritual and ceremonial events and it is argued by some that they portray historical events and personages. See Ezra. Royal Art of Benin, 1997, for a full discussion of dates and use of the plaques. Brass plaques were cast in high relief using the lost wax technique in combining copper with lead. The russet brown color of the surface comes from the rich red laterite soil of the Benin region. This plaque reflects the technique and high quality of brass casting known a Benin from the 1500s onwards. The wax is modeled to shape the figures and the flat sheet background was decorated with dots and the leaves known as ebe-ame. Used in healing. Benin City was the center of power for the great Edo kingdom from the 1300s to 1897 when the kingdom was overthrown by the British and the Oba exiled. The king returned in 1934 and the king

Superb Benin Seated Leopard Bronze Nigeria African #11
Superb small Benin Leopard Bronze Nigeria African#11 measures approx:3" h by 6" long The Benin Kingdom was founded by the son of an Ife king around 1300. But it was not until the 15th/16thC that the kingdom reached its zenith. Sometime in the 15thC, members of the kingdom made contact with Portuguese traders living along the coast, and it is likely that some of the skills found in their metalworks were learned from these interactions. The originals of these castings date to the 12th to 15th centuries and are worth millions of dollars. The present day inhabitants, Edo and Yoruba who live in Benin, continue to produce art today inspired by these famous early masterpieces.

The russet brown color of the surface comes from the rich red laterite soil of the Benin region. This plaque reflects the technique and high quality of brass casting known a Benin from the 1500s onwards.

In the ... morethirteenth century, the city of Benin was an agglomeration of farms enclosed by walls and a ditch. Each clan was subject to the oba(king) The“Benin style” is a court art from the palace of the oba. And has nothing in common with tribal art. The Benin oba employed a guild of artisans who all lived in the same district of the city. Bronze figures ordered by the king were kept in the palace. The empire flourished until 1897. When the palace was sacked by the English in reprisal for an ambush that had cost the British vice-consul his life. The numerous commemorative brass heads. Free-standing figures and groups, plaques in relief, bells and rattle-staffs, small expressive masks and plaquettes worn on the belt as emblem of offices; chests in the shape of palaces, animals, cult stands, jewelry, etc. cast by Benin metalworkers were created for the royal palace. The heads were placed on the altars of kings, of brass caster corporation chiefs and dignitaries. Occasionally, a brass head was surmounted by a carved iv. tusk engraved with a procession of different obas. The altar functioned as a tribute to the deceased and a point of contact with his spirit.

The famous royal center of Benin. The center of the Edo people's power and the place of residence for the Oba, the ruler, had produced a number of remarkable objects the best known being the portrait heads cast in bronze and a number of leopard castings such as this. Benin examples of leopards are known as being ritually used as aquamanile to pour water during ceremonies. The age of this figure is difficult to determine however what is important to note is that the skill of the Nigerian bronze(brass) casters of today who cast this leopard continues a tradition nearly 500 years old at Benin and have not lost their skill in producing wonderful works of art. The Benin Kingdom was founded by the son of an Ife king around 1300. But it was not until the 15th/16thC that the kingdom reached its zenith. Sometime in the 15thC, members of the kingdom made contact with Portuguese traders living along the coast, and it is likely that some of the skills found in their metalworks were learned from these interactions. The originals of these castings date to the 12th to 15th

The final assault to this proud and powerful kingdom occurred in 1897, when the British, in an effort to seize more control over important trade routes, routed the city of Ife and seized almost all of the existing bronze and brass masterpieces. Additional Information: Bronze plaques with figures of attendants at the palace of the Oba the ruler of Benin. The capital city of the Edo people in Nigeria as early as the mid 1600s. The plaques which were attached to pillars in various rooms of the palace, are conservatively dated to have been made as early as 1550 to the 1650 and apparently fell out of use sometime in the early 1700s. These wonderfully sculpted plaques show ritual and ceremonial events and it is argued by some that they portray historical events and personages. See Ezra, Royal Art of Benin, 1997, for a full discussion of dates and use of the plaques. Bronze plaques were cast in high relief using the lost wax technique in combining copper with lead.

It was either too soft or too hard and I just could not get the hang of it. I am so amazed when I see Antique bronze made in Africa! They did not have electricity.

IFE BRONZE BUST OF A KING - BENIN
IFE BRONZE BUST OF A KING The region of Ife in Nigeria has become known for the naturalism of its art in comparison to the stylized art of other African regions. The area also produced terracotta sculptures. Clay, wood, bronze, and even in quartz. The Yoruba tribe regarded Ife as their place of origin as told in the creation myths. The craftsmanship of Ife was later passed on to the kingdom of Benin, which being closer to the sea was better known to early European travelers. The later history of Ife is not yet well documented except for the beautiful bronze busts of kings such as this one. This beautifully sculpted bronze bust of a young king is a perfect example of the talented craftsmanship of the area of Ife in Nigeria. His facial expression is one of serenity and confidence. Both in himself and in his surroundings. In both hands, he holds ... moretwo objects that symbolize control and power. He also wears a crown, emphasizing his rank in society. His neck and chest are draped in traditional jewelry. The vertical carving of the face. Emulates the tribal scaring he would have received. The fact that the sculpture is made of metal rather than wood emphasizes its value and the Kings importance as well. The back of the sculpture remains simple, suggesting that the sculpture was meant to be seen frontally and not necessarily in the round. Ife bronzes are famous worldwide. Recalling Greek portrait sculpture, emphasizing muscles, power, facial character, and mystery. MEASUREMENTS: 12 inches tall and 5.5 inches wide

Greetings. I am pleased to be able to offer this antique African Benin Kingdom tribal bronze/ brass leopard which comes From Nigeria. Africa. This amazing Benin African leopard art piece measures 13.50 inches long x 3.50 inches wide x 14 inches high and is in great condition with slight wear. The Benin Kingdom was strong throughout the 15th and 16th Centuries and was located in West Africa bordering what is now Nigeria and Togo. Benin Clans were ruled by a King which was known as the Oba and who was the divine ruler of the Benin people. The people of Benin are called Bini and are descended from the Ife peoples. The making of these Benin bronzes were strictly considered court art and were made exclusively for the palace of the Oba and were designed to venerate the achievements and memories of the Obas and their Queens also called Iyobas or ... moreQueen Mothers who ruled throughout the time of the kingdom. The metalsmiths were very talented and used complex wax casting techniques which were far ahead of their time. Their work in bronze. Copper and iron was extremely refined and their methods of metal smelting, forging and lost wax methods exceeded any seen in Europe until the 19th century. Lost-wax casting sometimes called by the French name of cire perdue(from the Latin cera perduta) is the process by which a brass or bronze sculpture is cast from an artist's carving usually made from wax. Very intricate works can be achieved with this method, depending on the carver's skills. The majority of everyday Benin objects were made for and associated with court ceremonies. The figures of a leopard were the sole property of the oba– the leopard was the royal animal. perfect addition to any African art collection.

The Rulers of Benin and Yoruba had close ties, and by the fifteenth century Benin became and important power in the region. With the backing of the monarchy selected ... moreartists of Benin developed a special style of sculpture vastly different from the rest of the region. They produced many fine bronze and or brass heads. Figurines, brass plaques, and large rectangular metal pictures, which were used to decorate the Oba's palace. The Benin Empire soon became the largest of the political systems of the Guinea Coast and toward the middle of the sixteenth century; the Oba ruled an area. Which spread from modern Lagos to the Niger Delta. Back in the late 19th century when the British forces invaded Benin City. They were overwhelmed to find artistic sculptures cast in brass/bronze. They could not believe the technological sophistication and exquisite beauty and quality of these objects. What they saw was a total contradiction to what many westerners believed or assumed about Africa. The above was too much for the British forces to bear and they swiftly concocted excuses- The sculptures must have been made by the Portuguese.

Edo Benin Bronze Plaque Oba Face Three Court Attendants Africa
Title, Edo Benin Bronze Plaque Oba Face Three Court Attendants Africa, Type of Object, Bronze/ Brass Plaque, Country of Origin, Nigeria, People, Edo, Materials, Brass-Bronze, Approximate Age, Unknown 20 century replica based upon plaques dating to 1550 to 1650. Dimensions, 13.5 inches H. X 11.5 inches W. x 3 inches D. Overall Condition, Good Most of our pieces have spent decades on at least two continents. And have been treasured by several owners.  Small splits, scrapes and cracks are a normal part of their patina attesting to their age and extensive use. We examine each piece carefully when we receive it and report any damage we find in our listings. Please look carefully at the pictures which may also reveal condition and damage. Damage/Repair, holes. Wear, some oxidation, Additional Information: A wonderful brass ... moreplaque with figures of King and court attendants(musicians)similar to those found at the palace of the Oba the ruler of Benin. The capital city of the Edo people in Nigeria as early as the mid 1600s. The plaques which were attached to pillars in various rooms of the palace. Are conservatively dated to have been made as early as 1550 to the 1650 and apparently fell out of use sometime in the early 1700s. These wonderfully sculpted plaques show ritual and ceremonial events and it is argued by some that they portray historical events and personages. See Ezra. Royal Art of Benin, 1997, for a full discussion of dates and use of the plaques. Brass plaques were cast in high relief using the lost wax technique in combining copper with lead. The russet brown color of the surface comes from the rich red laterite soil of the Benin region. This plaque reflects the technique and high quality of brass casting known a Benin from the 1500s onwards. The wax is modeled to shape the figures and the flat sheet background was decorated with dots and the leaves known as ebe-ame. Used in healing. Benin City was the center of power for the great Edo kingdom from the 1300s to 1897 when the kingdom was
