EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Plaque with a single figure, dating back to the 16th to 17th century. Crafted from copper alloy, possibly brass or bronze, this exquisite piece of art measures an impressive 45.7x36.8x7.6 cm and is currently housed in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. The plaque originates from the Edo Culture of the 16th-17th century and depicts a heroic African warrior adorned in armor and armed with a sword. The intricate relief work on this commemorative plaque highlights the exceptional craftsmanship of Benin bronzes. Every detail on this sculpture tells a story - from the patterns meticulously etched into the metalwork to the figurative representation of strength and valor portrayed by the warrior. This artwork serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact, offering us insight into Nigerian culture during that era. Acquired through The Eugene and Margaret McDermott Art Fund, Inc. , this significant piece is now part of Dallas Museum's prestigious collection. Its presence not only honors African heritage but also invites viewers to appreciate its cultural significance beyond commercial use. As we gaze upon this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space, allowing us to connect with ancient civilizations while appreciating their artistic prowess for generations to come.
