This print showcases the exquisite beauty and cultural significance of the "Queen mother head (bronze)" sculpture, created by Benin in the 16th century. Standing at an impressive height of 51 cm, this artwork is a true testament to the artistic mastery of West African craftsmanship. The regal presence emanating from this bronze masterpiece is undeniable. The Queen mother's dignified expression and commanding gaze exude power and authority, reflecting her prominent role within Nigerian society. Adorned with a resplendent crown atop her head, she symbolizes royalty and embodies the essence of female leadership. Her intricately styled coiffure serves as a visual representation of Yoruba culture's rich heritage. Each carefully crafted strand tells a story, showcasing not only her status but also her individuality within the royal court. Photographer Dirk Bakker has skillfully captured every detail of this extraordinary sculpture, allowing viewers to appreciate its magnificence up close. The lighting enhances the depth and texture of the bronze material while maintaining its timeless allure. Displayed in a private collection, this photograph preserves an important piece of African history for future generations to admire. It serves as a reminder that art transcends time and borders, connecting us to our shared human experiences across cultures. Through his lens, Dirk Bakker invites us into this world where tradition meets contemporary appreciation—a visual journey that celebrates both artistic brilliance and cultural heritage.
