EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Benin plaque with two warriors, originating from Nigeria in the 16th-17th century. Crafted out of bronze and measuring 40x33 cm, this masterpiece is currently housed at the Musee du Quai Branly et des Arts Premiers in Paris, France. The plaque was originally designed to adorn wooden pillars within a palace and is believed to depict attendants of the king, known as Oba. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship on display highlight the artistic prowess of the African School during this period. The two warriors depicted on the plaque exude strength and valor. Their muscular physiques are accentuated by their dynamic poses, showcasing their readiness for battle. With stern expressions on their faces and weapons firmly grasped in hand, they stand as formidable guards protecting their kingdom. This remarkable piece offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Benin Kingdom during its golden age. It serves as a testament to both the artistic skill of its creators and the historical significance it holds within Nigerian history. As we admire this striking image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space, allowing us to connect with distant cultures while appreciating their unique contributions to human civilization.
