Benin Bronze Bowl Benin Bronzes were originally from the royal palace of the Kingdom of Benin, in what is now Edo State, Nigeria. They were made from at least the 16th century onwards and were commissioned specifically for the ancestral altars of past Obas and Queen Mothers, as well as for other rituals to honour the ancestors and to validate the accession of a new Oba. The Benin Bronzes are an important historical record of the Kingdom of Benin, which was a major city state in West Africa from the medieval period. They provide insights into the kingdom's dynastic history, as well as its social history and its relationships with neighboring kingdoms, states, and societies. One element of this history is the kingdom's early contacts with Europeans, particularly the Portuguese, with whom they developed trade and diplomatic contacts from the 15th century. The artists who created the Benin Bronzes were highly skilled craftsmen who worked in a variety of materials, including brass, bronze, ivory, coral, leather, and wood. They were commissioned to create a wide range of objects.

Come see my studio. Flick through my sketchbooks. See where my ideas come from. Watch me at work. Have a chat. My work is playful. It's designed to raise a smile and tap into your inner storyteller. The creation process is very 'in the moment'. But it's supported by a mycelium like network of research and experimentation. @oswbnh is a chance for you to come and find out more. . . . #oswbnh24 #oswbnh2024 #ceramicsuk #storytelling #kurinuki #sketchbook #lewischessmen #beninbronze #chalchiuhtlicue #psalter #marginalia #figurative #slabbuiltceramics

WOW ! WOW!! WOW!!! Images do not do justice to the scale and intricacies of this monumental work by @shonibarestudio at the Nigerian Pavilion @nigeriaimaginary curated by @aindreaemelife Yinka’s presentation is a pyramid made of clay with 150 individual representations of the stolen “Benin bronzes” - a tiny silver of about 5,000 objects forcefully taken away from Benin Nigeria. The scale of the work just gives a tiny view of what the debate about the returns of these objects in museums across the globe looks like. Yinka was asked a question by a guest whether the people of Nigeria would prefer to have the objects back or just get it temporarily. His response was straightforward- if someone steals your car, would you like to get it back temporarily or just get your stolen car back period.. the answer so obvious but the question itself shows how far this conversation still has to go. Such a powerful work that reinforces the need to get these works of art consisting of everyday objects among others back to Edoland. . . . . #beninbronze #artreturns #africanart #venicebiennale #blackexcellence #colonial #repatriationisamust

One benefit of visiting an art museum multiple times is you wander through galleries you may have missed on a one-time visit. I few weeks ago, I found these incredible Benin bronzes at the MFA Boston. They depict war scenes, ceremonial gestures, and musicians of the Benin Empire in the 1500s. Benin traded pepper, cloth, and enslaved people with Portugal, Netherlands, England, and France for bronze, firearms, and coral. They also created ivory pieces for Renaissance Europe. What hidden treasures have you found on a repeat visit to a museum?
