Benin Plaque

The bronze plaques were mounted on the walls of the Oba's Palace and record the history of the Benin kingdom. Most depict the king or warrior chiefs. The extraordinary bronzes of the Benin kingdom in what is now Nigeria exhibit a virtuosity and sophistication of style that has astonished the Western world since they were visited in the 15th Century. Almost all Benin art was created to honor the king , or Oba, who has reigned, with his ancestors.

The people of Benin, called Bini, are descended from the Ife, also known for their remarkable bronzes.
