An homage to the 16th Century "STOLEN" artifact from the Benin Kingdom in West Africa.
There are about 900 objects taken during the British invasion of the capital of the Kingdom of Benin in 1897 as was part of a campaign waged from 1892 through 1902 to forcibly bring most of the inland territory of modern-day Nigeria under British rule. With the British conquest of Benin City, Oba Ovonramwen was exiled to Calabar and soldiers plundered the palace. This ivory portrait is one of them, believed to have been produced in the early sixteenth century for the King or ObaEsigie, the king of Benin, to honor his mother, Idia.
These pieces were more than artifacts, they preserved the legacy of a bold and rich civilization.
These pieces rightfully belong to the Edo people of Nigeria and should be returned.
