Museum Quality! Rare Old Benin Bronze Oba Head estimated period early 1400's. 9.5-lbs, 11.5x9x6 inches (see document re: Yoruba Peoples Study) Located in Mid Western Nigeria the people of Benin were known as an artistic culture, especially in its famous artifacts of bronze, iron and ivory. These include bronze wall plaques and life-sized bronze heads depicting the Obas and Iyobas of Benin. Portuguese explorers discovered the people of this region in 1485 as they were a prosperous kingdom. Archaeologically, the settlement of Ile-Ife showed features of urbanism in the 12th–14th century era.[citation needed] In the period around 1300 CE the artists at Ile-Ife developed a refined and naturalistic sculptural tradition in terracotta, stone and copper alloy – copper, brass, and bronze many of which appear to have been created under the patronage of King Obalufon II, the man who today is identified as the Yoruba patron deity of brass casting, weaving and regalia.[40] The dynasty of kings at Ile-Ife, which is regarded by the Yoruba as the place of origin of human civilization, remains intact to this day. The urban phase of Ile-Ife before the rise of Oyo, c. 1100–1600, a significant peak of political centralization in the 12th century,[41][42] is commonly described as a "golden age" of Ile-Ife.
