EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a Benin Plaque from Nigeria. Crafted out of brass, this remarkable piece is on display at the British Museum in London, UK. The plaque, believed to be from the 16th century AD, once adorned wooden pillars within the Obas palace in Benin city. The image captures a scene from court life in ancient Africa. A soldier stands proudly with his sword by his side, surrounded by royal guards and attendants. Their elaborate headdresses and necklaces reflect their status and importance within the kingdom. The warriors are depicted holding raised shields and weapons, ready to protect their king at any moment. The attention to detail in this cast metalwork is truly awe-inspiring; every element meticulously crafted to perfection. Intriguingly, amidst these powerful figures stands a maid - a domestic servant going about her daily tasks as part of court life. Her presence adds depth and humanity to this portrayal of African royalty. This photograph not only highlights the richness of African culture but also serves as a reminder that history encompasses all aspects of society - from kingship down to those who serve behind closed doors. It is an extraordinary testament to the skill and artistry of Nigerian craftsmen during that era.
