Head of an oba
myminifactory
This is a majestic bronze head-portrait of a Nigerian monarch. Originally, this remarkable head stood proudly on an altar in the royal palace of Benin City as a tribute to a deceased king, or oba. Though such heads were linked specifically to individual rulers, none of them aimed to capture a precise likeness but instead conveyed the notion that visionary leadership has endured across generations. The head defies categorization, balancing "dead" and "memorialized", "specific" and "idealized", "person" and "ancestor", thus challenging us to reevaluate what portraits are and what they signify.
