Phantom*SF is a Trading Assistant - We can sell items for you! You are bidding on this marvelous Benin Bronze ! We're happy to present you with: Benin Bronze - probably "Queen".Very good condition, especially for it's age! Intricate, very detailed creation. Measuring: 32.0" high and weighs ca. 29 lbs. A wonderful Masterpiece! From the 14th century until its fall in 1897, Benin was ruled by the oba, a divine ruler at the head of the political system of titled chiefs. For over six hundred years the city of Benin was the capital of a prosperous, well-organized empire of the same name. In 1170 A.D. a prince from the city of Ife named Oranmiyan founded the monarchy of Benin. His son, Eweka I, became the first Oba (king). The present ruler, Erediauwa I, is the 39th Oba of the dynasty. Today Benin City is the capital of Bendal State and part of Nigeria's federal structure. Benin royal art is primarily made of ivory and bronze. Ivory carving has been part of court life since the early 12th century. In the 15th century a great expansion in bronze-casting took place, reflecting the increased commercial importance of Benin. Phantom*SF is delightedto offer this item. Allis in top quality condition.
