EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Benin Plaque, a true masterpiece from Nigeria. Crafted in brass by the talented artists of Benin in the 16th century, this artifact is now proudly displayed at the British Museum in London, UK. The plaque's intricate design and exquisite details are truly awe-inspiring. Adorning wooden pillars within the Obas palace in Benin city, it offers a glimpse into court life during that era. The warrior depicted on the plaque stands tall with a raised sword, surrounded by fellow guards who wear elaborate headdresses and necklaces. Every element of this artwork tells a story - from the tribal symbols to the weaponry and shields held by these brave soldiers. It serves as a testament to African craftsmanship and cultural heritage. As we admire this piece, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness kingship and royal glory unfold before our eyes. The presence of an attendant nearby suggests an important event or ceremony taking place. This photograph not only captures the beauty of this metalwork artifact but also invites us to explore Africa's rich history and its significant contributions to art worldwide. Let us cherish such treasures that remind us of our shared human experience across different cultures and continents.
