Bronze reproduction of the plaques of the ancient Benin kingdom of central-southern Nigeria, depicting a high dignitary with a feathered headdress surrounded by four warriors. The original plaques, made by the Bini (Edo) artists between the 15th and 16th centuries using the lost-wax casting technique, decorated the pillars of the audience hall of the royal palace until 1897, when the city was occupied by the English and the palace was destroyed. Today they are preserved in the British Museum, in the National Museum of Lagos in Nigeria and in other important international museums.
