This print captures the intricate beauty of Two Benin Plaques, Nigeria. Made from brass and dating back to the 16th century AD, these plaques once adorned the wooden pillars of the Obas palace in Benin city. The level of detail is astonishing, showcasing court life in ancient Africa. In this image, we see a group of royal guards standing tall and proud. Their armor glistens as they hold their raised swords with authority. These warriors are not only protectors but also symbols of power and kingship. Amidst them stands an attendant, perhaps a maid or housemaid attending to her duties within the palace walls. Her presence adds a touch of domesticity amidst the grandeur and showcases the hierarchical structure within African society at that time. The craftsmanship displayed in these plaques is remarkable; every element meticulously cast to perfection. From headdresses to weaponry, each detail tells a story about tribal traditions and cultural heritage. As we admire this artifact from afar, it serves as a reminder of Africa's rich history and its contribution to artistry and metalwork. It is through such pieces that we can appreciate the legacy left behind by ancient civilizations like Benin.
