Benin Bronze Oba Box - 60.1
£640.00
A Benin bronze Oba box, hand-cast by the traditional lost-wax method of the Benin Kingdom in Nigeria — a wax model encased in clay, melted out, then filled with molten bronze, so each piece is unique.
Historically, Benin bronzes signified currency and status, their worth held in both the metal and the casting. A characterful piece for holding small treasured items, or simply as a decorative accent.
Size: 27cm L x 8cm W x 9cm H.
