Item Details

Description

Title: Gorgeous life size head in the style of an Oni - IFE - former Kingdom of Benin-Nigeria

Maker: Unknown

Origin: NIgeria

Date/Period: 2014

Materials: Bronze

Height 33cm / 13 inches.

Bronze head with a serene expression on the face, and the streaks represent facial scarifications, which are characteristic of the "classic" period of the art of Ife. The holes on the neck are to attach the mask to a wooden dummy for exhibitions to the public during the ceremonies. In the Yoruba tradition, the grooves on the neck, were considered a sign of beauty. This bronze sculpture is of good quality and made using the "lost wax" method, where the mold is lost during the casting process. Weight 2611 grams.
