Benin Art refers to the artistic traditions of the Kingdom of Benin, located in present-day Nigeria. This art is renowned for its intricate bronze and ivory sculptures, as well as detailed wood carvings. The works often depict historical figures, including Obas (kings), and are characterized by their high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The most famous examples of Benin Art are the Benin Bronzes, a collection of plaques and sculptures that adorned the royal palace. These pieces not only showcase the skill of the artisans but also serve as important historical records of the kingdom's culture and achievements.
