Benin art
Benin art is the art from the Kingdom of Benin or Edo Empire (1440–1897), a pre-colonial African state located in what is now known as the South-South region of Nigeria. Primarily made of cast bronze and carved ivory, Benin art was produced mainly for the court of the Oba of Benin - a divine ruler for whom the craftsmen produced a range of ceremonially significant objects. The full complexity of these works can be appreciated only through the awareness and consideration of two complementary cultural perceptions of the art of Benin: the Western appreciation of them primarily as works of art, and their understanding in Benin as historical documents and as mnemonic devices to reconstruct history, or as ritual objects. This original significance is of great import in Benin.
The royal arts of Benin
The royal arts of the Benin Kingdom of south-central Nigeria affirm the centrality of the oba, or divine king, portraying his divine nature. While recording the kingdom’s significant historical events and the oba's involvement with them, they also initiate the oba’s interactions with the supernatural and honor his deified ancestors, forging a continuity that is vital to the kingdom’s well-being.

Benin Bronzes
The Benin Bronzes are a group of more than a thousand commemorative metal plaques that decorated the royal palace of the Benin Kingdom in modern-day Nigeria. Collectively, the Bronzes form the best known examples of Benin art, created by the Edo people from the thirteenth century, which also included other sculptures in brass or bronze, including some famous portrait heads and smaller pieces.
In 1897, most of the plaques were removed by the British during a punitive expedition to the area as imperial control was being consolidated in Southern Nigeria. Two hundred of the pieces were taken to the British Museum in London, while the rest were purchased by other European museums. Today, a large number are held by the British Museum. Other notable collections are in Germany and the United States.
The Benin Bronzes led to a greater appreciation in Europe of African culture and art. Initially and naively, it appeared incredible to the discoverers that people "supposedly so primitive and savage" were responsible for such highly developed objects. Some even concluded that Benin knowledge of metallurgy came from the Portuguese traders who were in contact with Benin in the early modern period. Today, it is clear that the bronzes were made in Benin from an indigenous culture. Many of these dramatic sculptures date to the thirteenth century, centuries before contact with Portuguese traders, and a large part of the collection dates to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. It is believed that two "golden ages" in Benin metal workmanship occurred during the reigns of Esigie (fl. 1550) and of Eresoyen (1735-50), when their workmanship achieved its highest qualities.

Benin City
Benin City is a city (2006 est. pop. 1,147,188) and the capital of Edo State in southern Nigeria. It is a city approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of the Benin River. It is situated 320 kilometres (200 mi) by road east of Lagos. Benin is the centre of Nigeria's rubber industry, but processing palm nuts for oil is also an important traditional industry.
History
The original people and founders of the Benin Empire, the Edo people, were initially ruled by the Ogiso (Kings of the Sky) dynasty who called their land Igodomigodo. The rulers or kings were commonly known as Ogiso. Igodo, the first Ogiso, wielded much influence and gained popularity as a good ruler. He died after a long reign and was succeeded by Ere, his eldest son. In the 12th century, a great palace intrigue and battle for power erupted between the warrior crown prince Ekaladerhan son of the last Ogiso and his young paternal uncle. In anger over an oracle, Prince Ekaladerhan left the royal court with his warriors. When his old father the Ogiso died, the Ogiso dynasty was ended as the people and royal kingmakers preferred their king's son as natural next in line to rule.

Benin Empire
The Benin Empire was a pre-colonial empire located in what is now southern Nigeria. Its capital was Edo, now known as Benin City, Edo. It should not be confused with the modern-day country called Benin, formerly called Dahomey. The Benin Empire was "one of the oldest and most highly developed states in the coastal hinterland of West Africa, dating perhaps to the eleventh century CE", until it was annexed by the British Empire in 1897.

The London History Show: The Benin Plaques
Hello all. We are learning about the British Museum at the moment, and that includes a lot of world cultures that were unfamiliar to me, such as that of the Kingdom of Benin. As such, I'm sure there are a lot of good sources out there that are inaccessible to me or that I did not find here in my London lockdown. I've given my sources below, but if you have others that give a different perspective, please let me know. On a related note, there are several words in this one that I've only ever seen written down, so if you know better than me on the pronounciations, let me know in the comments. I'm already pretty sure I got Erediauwa wrong. In this video, we look at stolen African artworks in the British Museum commonly called the "Benin Bronzes". In each episode of The London History Sh...

Africa's looted art | DW Documentary
Africa’s colonial overlords brutally stripped it of countless cultural treasures. Now, the fate of these items is being hotly debated in Europe and Africa as well. Some say the pieces should be returned, while others have reservations. European museums proudly present art and cultural artifacts from all over the world. But until recently, many of them have never considered their own complicity in the brutal ways in which the pieces were acquired. Only slowly are they starting to include the people to whose ancestors these artifacts once belonged in their decisions, although European colonial overlords pillaged and looted them in the first place. The issue of restitution is taking on a new urgency in Germany, last but not least because of the controversy surrounding Berlin's Humboldt Foru...

Hello all. We are learning about the British Museum at the moment, and that includes a lot of world cultures that were unfamiliar to me, such as that of the Kingdom of Benin. As such, I'm sure there are a lot of good sources out there that are inaccessible to me or that I did not find here in my London lockdown. I've given my sources below, but if you have others that give a different perspective, please let me know.
On a related note, there are several words in this one that I've only ever seen written down, so if you know better than me on the pronounciations, let me know in the comments. I'm already pretty sure I got Erediauwa wrong.
In this video, we look at stolen African artworks in the British Museum commonly called the "Benin Bronzes".

Hello all. We are learning about the British Museum at the moment, and that includes a lot of world cultures that were unfamiliar to me, such as that of the Kingdom of Benin. As such, I'm sure there are a lot of good sources out there that are inaccessible to me or that I did not find here in my London lockdown. I've given my sources below, but if you have others that give a different perspective, please let me know.
On a related note, there are several words in this one that I've only ever seen written down, so if you know better than me on the pronounciations, let me know in the comments. I'm already pretty sure I got Erediauwa wrong.
In this video, we look at stolen African artworks in the British Museum commonly called the "Benin Bronzes".

Africa’s colonial overlords brutally stripped it of countless cultural treasures. Now, the fate of these items is being hotly debated in Europe and Africa as well. Some say the pieces should be returned, while others have reservations.
European museums proudly present art and cultural artifacts from all over the world. But until recently, many of them have never considered their own complicity in the brutal ways in which the pieces were acquired. Only slowly are they starting to include the people to whose ancestors these artifacts once belonged in their decisions, although European colonial overlords pillaged and looted them in the first place.
The issue of restitution is taking on a new urgency in Germany, last but not least because of the controversy surrounding Berlin's Humboldt Forum, which is home to non-European collections. It's estimated that more than 1.5 million artifacts from all around the world are held in storage at Germany's ethnological museums. The Linden Museum in Stuttgart alone holds 60 thousand pieces from Africa. How many of them were stolen? And how do museums address the fact that their colonialist collectors had blood on their hands?
This documentary takes an African perspective on some examples, including valuable bronzes from Nigeria, an ornamental prow of a boat from Cameroon, and what is known as the Witbooi Bible from Namibia.
What do the people in the African countries where the pieces originated think about all this? What are the views of researchers, museum directors, artists and curators? What emotions arise when the frequently painful past is stirred up and examined? And how significant is the issue in the context of problems such as poverty, hunger and corruption in former colonies?

The Benin Bronzes, considered as one of Africa’s greatest treasures, which were looted in 1897 when British invaded the Kingdom of Benin, which is now in Southern Nigeria.
The craftsmen of Benin who are famous for their artwork are keeping the tradition of bronze casting alive for centuries now. For them it’s a way of life and one of the ways of keeping their heritage for future generations.
This is the story of one such artist whose family is associated with this ancient artwork for the past 600 years.

Nigeria’s battle to reclaim looted Benin Bronzes
To Nigerians, the Benin Bronzes are more than just sublime sculptures and carvings, they are spiritual diaries that tell the story of an ancient kingdom. (Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe) Looted by the British, the Bronzes have become highly-charged symbols in the debate around the legacy of colonial violence. Hundreds are still held by the British Museum. Nigeria says it's been asking for them back for decades. The museum says it’s never had a formal written request. Tonight, we show the letter sent by the Benin King to Queen Elizabeth requesting their return - back in 1996. Our exclusive report starts in the heart of Benin, in the workshops of their world renowned bronze casters. ----------------------- Follow us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/Channel4Ne...

Returning the Benin Bronzes
In 1897, during the violent sacking of Benin City by British armed forces, thousands of artefacts were removed and subsequently sold in London. 116 objects, known as Benin Bronzes, eventually entered the collection of the University of Cambridge’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA). The University is now in the process of arranging for the return of these objects to Nigeria. In December 2022, the UK’s Charity Commission granted consent for the University to proceed. In this film, shot at The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the museum’s Director, Professor Nicholas Thomas, and its Senior Curator in Anthropology, Dr Mark Elliott, explain how the Benin Bronzes entered the collection, why the University is now returning them, and how this process has developed.

British museum agrees to return stolen Benin Bronzes to Nigeria
A museum in London has decided to return a collection of treasures stolen in the 19th century to Nigeria. The items, including the famous Benin Bronzes, were taken as European powers scrambled for colonial domination of Africa in the 19th century. But as Western museums start to reckon with their colonial past, many are choosing to give back what is not rightfully theirs.

=====================
The Benin civilisation is famous for its bronzes. A young boy, Ibi, tells us how they are made using the 'lost wax' process, and why bronze was so important at the time. The people of Benin traded as far away as India and throughout the whole of Africa. When the Portuguese arrived in the late 15th century, they began trading with Europe. The Benin civilisation was one of the largest cities in Africa. Each trade had its own district - there was even a storytellers' district!
This clip is from the BBC series Lost Lands: A series of short animations that take the viewer back in time to explore seven different ancient civilisations related to the Key Stage 2 / 2nd Level history curriculum. Each episode is narrated from the point of view of a young child or teenager living in that era. The animations also feature archaeological remains and archives that reveal where historians find evidence for these ancient ways of life.

=====================
Teaching History?
This clip could be used to explore bronze-making, the process, and the finished goods. Why were the people of Benin so good at making bronze? Where did they learn to do this? Where did the copper and tin come from? Does it compare with bronze from Bronze Age Britain or Shang China? Could be used as a starting point to explore the impact of Europeans on African society. What happened to Benin, its wealth and power once the Europeans arrived? This could also be used to explore the Oba and his powers. How did he rule the country? Was he as powerful as, for example, a Roman emperor? Or a Shang emperor?
This clip is relevant for teaching History at Key Stage 2 and Second Level.

To Nigerians, the Benin Bronzes are more than just sublime sculptures and carvings, they are spiritual diaries that tell the story of an ancient kingdom.

Looted by the British, the Bronzes have become highly-charged symbols in the debate around the legacy of colonial violence.
Hundreds are still held by the British Museum. Nigeria says it's been asking for them back for decades.
The museum says it’s never had a formal written request. Tonight, we show the letter sent by the Benin King to Queen Elizabeth requesting their return - back in 1996.
Our exclusive report starts in the heart of Benin, in the workshops of their world renowned bronze casters.

In 1897, during the violent sacking of Benin City by British armed forces, thousands of artefacts were removed and subsequently sold in London.
116 objects, known as Benin Bronzes, eventually entered the collection of the University of Cambridge’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA).
The University is now in the process of arranging for the return of these objects to Nigeria.
In December 2022, the UK’s Charity Commission granted consent for the University to proceed.
In this film, shot at The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the museum’s Director, Professor Nicholas Thomas, and its Senior Curator in Anthropology, Dr Mark Elliott, explain how the Benin Bronzes entered the collection, why the University is now returning them, and how this process has developed.
They also pay tribute to exceptional artistic and cultural significance of the Benin Bronzes themselves.
The film includes footage of a number of the Benin Bronzes in question on display in the museum.

Hello all. We are learning about the British Museum at the moment, and that includes a lot of world cultures that were unfamiliar to me, such as that of the Kingdom of Benin. As such, I'm sure there are a lot of good sources out there that are inaccessible to me or that I did not find here in my London lockdown. I've given my sources below, but if you have others that give a different perspective, please let me know.
On a related note, there are several words in this one that I've only ever seen written down, so if you know better than me on the pronounciations, let me know in the comments. I'm already pretty sure I got Erediauwa wrong.
In this video, we look at stolen African artworks in the British Museum commonly called the "Benin Bronzes".
In each episode of The London History Show, we'll be looking at a different statue, plaque, building or feature of London's landscape that you can find for yourself, and we'll tell its story. Watch the whole series here: https://tinyurl.com/ybzud2wm

Some of the world’s greatest cultural and historical treasures are housed in London’s British Museum, and a significant number of them were taken during Britain’s centuries-long imperial rule. In recent years, many of the countries missing their cultural heritage have been asking for some of these items back.
Benin City in Nigeria is one of those places. They've been calling for the return of the Benin Bronzes, hundreds of artifacts looted in 1897 when British soldiers embarked a punitive expedition to Benin. Many are now housed in the British Museum.
And it's just the beginning. As the world reckons with the damage inflicted during Europe’s colonial global takeover, the calls for these items to be returned are getting louder and louder.

A museum in London has decided to return a collection of treasures stolen in the 19th century to Nigeria.
The items, including the famous Benin Bronzes, were taken as European powers scrambled for colonial domination of Africa in the 19th century.
But as Western museums start to reckon with their colonial past, many are choosing to give back what is not rightfully theirs.

Keeping Bronze Casting Craft Alive In Benin -City, Edo State

During the British colonial era in the 1940s, there was already an Antiquities Service, and the first national museum was founded in Jos in 1952, the same year as the Museum Rietberg. With the 1953 Antiquities Act there came the first successful export ban. Benin City has been home to the National Museum since 1973. Now two more museums are planned: the Benin Royal Museum and the Museum of West African Art (MOWAA). Film by Omoregie Osakpolor; Nigeria; 2024 Exhibition "In Dialogue with Benin.

Benin city the capital of Edo State in southern Nigeria, is one of the country’s oldest and most historically significant cities. As the heart of the ancient Benin Kingdom, it is a place where tradition, culture, and modernity blend seamlessly. Known for its vibrant people and rich heritage, the city reflects Nigeria’s diverse and enduring legacy. From its deep historical roots to its rapidly modernizing landscape, Benin City continues to captivate visitors and residents alike.
Benin City’s residential neighborhoods showcase its evolving character and provide insights into the lifestyles of its people. Some of the most prominent areas include the G.R.A and airport residential areas known for their upscale homes and luxurious hotels.
These areas paint a vivid picture of the city’s evolving character and provide a window into the city’s embrace of contemporary living standards and serve as hubs for high-profile residents, including government officials, influential business leaders, and expatriates. The G.R.A, in particular, is distinguished by its spacious streets lined with manicured gardens, large compounds, and a variety of modern amenities, making it a prime choice for families and professionals who prioritize comfort, convenience, and exclusivity. The proximity of these neighborhoods to major transport links, schools, and healthcare facilities adds to their appeal, ensuring that residents have access to all essential services without compromising on their quality of life.
The Airport Residential Area complements the elegance of the G.R.A with its own unique offerings. Known for its modern infrastructure and strategic location near the Benin City airport, it attracts professionals who travel frequently and value quick access to air travel. The area boasts stylish homes, trendy cafes, and a growing number of high-end restaurants, creating a lively yet peaceful atmosphere.
Venturing deeper into the heart of Benin City, we discover neighborhoods which offer a different but equally captivating experience. This bustling area features a mix of residential and commercial spaces, creating a vibrant, dynamic environment. Residents of New Benin benefit immensely from its strategic location, which provides easy access to essential services such as markets, schools, and healthcare facilities. The area is a hive of activity, with shops, businesses, and local vendors lining the streets, catering to the daily needs of its residents. Despite the hustle and bustle, New Benin maintains a sense of community, with friendly interactions among neighbors and a shared pride in the area’s growth and accessibility.
These areas collectively showcase Benin City’s multifaceted character. While areas like the G.R.A and the Airport Residential Area cater to the affluent and those seeking a luxurious lifestyle, neighborhoods such as New Benin highlight the city’s industrious spirit and the resilience of its people. Together, they form a tapestry of cultures, lifestyles, and aspirations, painting a portrait of a city that is both rooted in its rich heritage and reaching for a bright and progressive future.
Over the years, Benin City has undergone remarkable transformation, with the expansion of road networks, development of housing estates, and establishment of modern amenities.
As Benin City grows, it retains its cultural vibrancy and connection to its storied past. The people of the city, known for their warmth and hospitality, continue to uphold traditions through festivals, ceremonies, and daily life. The city’s charm lies not only in its historical landmarks and cultural heritage but also in the character of its neighborhoods, where every street tells a story of resilience, community, and progress.
The new shopping mall in Benin City, Nigeria, marks a significant milestone in the city’s urban and commercial development. Situated in a prime location, the mall offers a blend of retail, dining, and entertainment options, catering to a wide audience. Its modern architecture and state-of-the-art facilities make it a key attraction, enhancing the city’s appeal and promoting local and international commerce.
Across Nigeria, the rise of shopping malls reflects the country’s dynamic economic landscape and growing middle class. Cities like Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt have seen a surge in retail developments, providing residents with access to global brands and modern shopping experiences. These malls also serve as hubs for social interaction, featuring cinemas, food courts, and recreational facilities.
The trend signals a shift toward urbanization and modern consumer culture, with developers focusing on meeting the demands of a younger, tech-savvy population. By fostering job creation and supporting local businesses, these malls are contributing to Nigeria's broader economic diversification and infrastructural growth.

Nigeria operates over 52 museums under the leadership of the National Commission for Museums and Monuments. The NCMM also works to achieve the return of plundered cultural artifacts. During the British colonial era in the 1940s, there was already an Antiquities Service, and the first national museum was founded in Jos in 1952, the same year as the Museum Rietberg. With the 1953 Antiquities Act there came the first successful export ban. Benin City has been home to the National Museum since 1973. Now two more museums are planned: the Benin Royal Museum and the Museum of West African Art (MOWAA).

The Benin Kingdom, located in present-day Edo State, Nigeria, is one of the most iconic and enduring monarchies in Africa. With a history that stretches back over a millennium, it is arguably one of the oldest kingdoms in Nigeria. Known for its rich traditions, remarkable artistic heritage, and sophisticated governance, the kingdom has transitioned gracefully into the modern era while retaining its cultural identity.
Edo State today is not just the cradle of the Benin Kingdom but also a hub of educational and economic advancement, exemplified by institutions like the University of Benin (UNIBEN) and the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC).
The Benin Kingdom is believed to have been established as early as 1180 AD, evolving under the leadership of the Ogiso dynasty. This era, characterized by centralized authority and progressive governance, laid the foundation for a flourishing empire. By the 12th century, Oranmiyan from the Ife Kingdom introduced the lineage of Obas, marking a period of territorial expansion and cultural evolution.
By the 15th and 16th centuries, the kingdom had become a powerful empire, with Benin City emerging as a center of commerce, diplomacy, and artistry. The kingdom's influence extended over vast territories, and its thriving trade attracted European powers, including the Portuguese and the British.
A pivotal moment in Benin’s history came in 1897 during the British invasion. Tensions over trade and territorial control culminated in a brutal assault on Benin City by British forces. The city was looted, its art treasures—including the world-famous Benin Bronzes—were plundered, and Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi was exiled.
Despite this upheaval, the Benin Kingdom demonstrated remarkable resilience. The monarchy was restored in the early 20th century and has continued to play a vital role in preserving Edo culture and heritage.
The Oba of Benin remains one of Nigeria's most respected traditional rulers. His Royal Majesty Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Ewuare II, the current Oba, is a custodian of culture and tradition, as well as a promoter of modern development. His leadership is a unifying force for the Edo people and an enduring symbol of their identity.
Established in 1970, the University of Benin is one of Nigeria’s premier tertiary institutions and a key landmark in Edo State. Located in Benin City, UNIBEN has become synonymous with academic excellence and innovation. It offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, producing graduates who contribute significantly to Nigeria's socio-economic development.
The university’s sprawling campus includes state-of-the-art facilities for learning, research, and recreation. With its diverse student body and highly qualified faculty, UNIBEN serves as a beacon of knowledge and progress, embodying the kingdom’s legacy of intellectual and cultural enrichment.
Another modern landmark of Benin is the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), headquartered in Benin City. As a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), NPDC plays a pivotal role in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
The company is involved in the exploration, development, and production of hydrocarbons, contributing significantly to the country’s economy. Its presence in Edo State underscores the region’s strategic importance in Nigeria’s energy landscape. Additionally, NPDC’s operations have spurred local employment, infrastructure development, and corporate social responsibility initiatives, benefiting the Benin community.
The Benin Kingdom's cultural traditions remain vibrant, with events such as the annual Igue Festival drawing attention to the spiritual and communal life of the Edo people. These ceremonies reinforce the connection between the monarchy, the people, and their shared heritage.
The kingdom’s art continues to captivate global audiences, with efforts to repatriate the looted Benin Bronzes gaining international traction. This resurgence of interest in Benin’s cultural legacy is a testament to its enduring relevance.
The Benin Kingdom of Edo State is a remarkable blend of ancient heritage and modernity. Its historical significance as a powerful empire, its rich cultural traditions, and its iconic landmarks like the University of Benin and NPDC underscore its role as a bastion of progress and pride.
As the kingdom continues to thrive under the respected leadership of the Oba of Benin, its legacy serves as a source of inspiration for Nigerians and a symbol of Africa’s historical and cultural greatness.

The Kingdom of Benin was an ancient kingdom in what is now southern Nigeria.
In Benin city, the capital of Edo state, the Royal Bronze Casters Guild, which was founded in the 13th Century, lives on.
Hand-sculpted clay figures are transformed into bronzes using an ancient wax-casting process passed down through the centuries. Ashionye Ogene reports from the UNESCO world heritage site, Igun Street.

What are the Benin Bronzes? In the late 1800s, the Benin Empire in Africa was a hotbed of artistic skill and the British wanted a piece of it - as many pieces as they could steal, in fact. But what were the beautiful Benin Bronzes and did the current Queen of England really fence stolen goods.

Hello all. We are learning about the British Museum at the moment, and that includes a lot of world cultures that were unfamiliar to me, such as that of the Kingdom of Benin. As such, I'm sure there are a lot of good sources out there that are inaccessible to me or that I did not find here in my London lockdown. I've given my sources below, but if you have others that give a different perspective, please let me know.
On a related note, there are several words in this one that I've only ever seen written down, so if you know better than me on the pronounciations, let me know in the comments. I'm already pretty sure I got Erediauwa wrong.
In this video, we look at stolen African artworks in the British Museum commonly called the "Benin Bronzes".
In each episode of The London History Show, we'll be looking at a different statue, plaque, building or feature of London's landscape that you can find for yourself, and we'll tell its story. Watch the whole series here: https://tinyurl.com/ybzud2wm

Africa’s colonial overlords brutally stripped it of countless cultural treasures. Now, the fate of these items is being hotly debated in Europe and Africa as well. Some say the pieces should be returned, while others have reservations.
European museums proudly present art and cultural artifacts from all over the world. But until recently, many of them have never considered their own complicity in the brutal ways in which the pieces were acquired. Only slowly are they starting to include the people to whose ancestors these artifacts once belonged in their decisions, although European colonial overlords pillaged and looted them in the first place.
The issue of restitution is taking on a new urgency in Germany, last but not least because of the controversy surrounding Berlin's Humboldt Forum, which is home to non-European collections. It's estimated that more than 1.5 million artifacts from all around the world are held in storage at Germany's ethnological museums. The Linden Museum in Stuttgart alone holds 60 thousand pieces from Africa. How many of them were stolen? And how do museums address the fact that their colonialist collectors had blood on their hands?
This documentary takes an African perspective on some examples, including valuable bronzes from Nigeria, an ornamental prow of a boat from Cameroon, and what is known as the Witbooi Bible from Namibia.
What do the people in the African countries where the pieces originated think about all this? What are the views of researchers, museum directors, artists and curators? What emotions arise when the frequently painful past is stirred up and examined? And how significant is the issue in the context of problems such as poverty, hunger and corruption in former colonies?

The Benin Bronzes, considered as one of Africa’s greatest treasures, which were looted in 1897 when British invaded the Kingdom of Benin, which is now in Southern Nigeria.
The craftsmen of Benin who are famous for their artwork are keeping the tradition of bronze casting alive for centuries now. For them it’s a way of life and one of the ways of keeping their heritage for future generations.
This is the story of one such artist whose family is associated with this ancient artwork for the past 600 years.

Benin art
Benin art is the art from the Kingdom of Benin or Edo Empire (1440–1897), a pre-colonial African state located in what is now known as the South-South region of Nigeria. Primarily made of cast bronze and carved ivory, Benin art was produced mainly for the court of the Oba of Benin - a divine ruler for whom the craftsmen produced a range of ceremonially significant objects. The full complexity of these works can be appreciated only through the awareness and consideration of two complementary cultural perceptions of the art of Benin: the Western appreciation of them primarily as works of art, and their understanding in Benin as historical documents and as mnemonic devices to reconstruct history, or as ritual objects. This original significance is of great import in Benin.
The royal arts of Benin
The royal arts of the Benin Kingdom of south-central Nigeria affirm the centrality of the oba, or divine king, portraying his divine nature. While recording the kingdom’s significant historical events and the oba's involvement with them, they also initiate the oba’s interactions with the supernatural and honor his deified ancestors, forging a continuity that is vital to the kingdom’s well-being.

=====================
The Benin civilisation is famous for its bronzes. A young boy, Ibi, tells us how they are made using the 'lost wax' process, and why bronze was so important at the time. The people of Benin traded as far away as India and throughout the whole of Africa. When the Portuguese arrived in the late 15th century, they began trading with Europe. The Benin civilisation was one of the largest cities in Africa. Each trade had its own district - there was even a storytellers' district!
This clip is from the BBC series Lost Lands: A series of short animations that take the viewer back in time to explore seven different ancient civilisations related to the Key Stage 2 / 2nd Level history curriculum. Each episode is narrated from the point of view of a young child or teenager living in that era. The animations also feature archaeological remains and archives that reveal where historians find evidence for these ancient ways of life.

For Class Clips users, the original reference for the clip was p02m8908.
=====================
Teaching History?
This clip could be used to explore bronze-making, the process, and the finished goods. Why were the people of Benin so good at making bronze? Where did they learn to do this? Where did the copper and tin come from? Does it compare with bronze from Bronze Age Britain or Shang China? Could be used as a starting point to explore the impact of Europeans on African society. What happened to Benin, its wealth and power once the Europeans arrived? This could also be used to explore the Oba and his powers. How did he rule the country? Was he as powerful as, for example, a Roman emperor? Or a Shang emperor?
This clip is relevant for teaching History at Key Stage 2 and Second Level.

(Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Looted by the British, the Bronzes have become highly-charged symbols in the debate around the legacy of colonial violence.
Hundreds are still held by the British Museum. Nigeria says it's been asking for them back for decades.
The museum says it’s never had a formal written request. Tonight, we show the letter sent by the Benin King to Queen Elizabeth requesting their return - back in 1996.
Our exclusive report starts in the heart of Benin, in the workshops of their world renowned bronze casters.

In 1897, during the violent sacking of Benin City by British armed forces, thousands of artefacts were removed and subsequently sold in London.
116 objects, known as Benin Bronzes, eventually entered the collection of the University of Cambridge’s Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA).
The University is now in the process of arranging for the return of these objects to Nigeria.
In December 2022, the UK’s Charity Commission granted consent for the University to proceed.
In this film, shot at The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the museum’s Director, Professor Nicholas Thomas, and its Senior Curator in Anthropology, Dr Mark Elliott, explain how the Benin Bronzes entered the collection, why the University is now returning them, and how this process has developed.
They also pay tribute to exceptional artistic and cultural significance of the Benin Bronzes themselves.
The film includes footage of a number of the Benin Bronzes in question on display in the museum.

Some of the world’s greatest cultural and historical treasures are housed in London’s British Museum, and a significant number of them were taken during Britain’s centuries-long imperial rule. In recent years, many of the countries missing their cultural heritage have been asking for some of these items back.
Benin City in Nigeria is one of those places. They've been calling for the return of the Benin Bronzes, hundreds of artifacts looted in 1897 when British soldiers embarked a punitive expedition to Benin. Many are now housed in the British Museum.
And it's just the beginning. As the world reckons with the damage inflicted during Europe’s colonial global takeover, the calls for these items to be returned are getting louder and louder.
To dig deeper into the 1897 Benin Punitive Expedition and the Benin Bronzes check out this book by Staffan Lunden:

A museum in London has decided to return a collection of treasures stolen in the 19th century to Nigeria.
The items, including the famous Benin Bronzes, were taken as European powers scrambled for colonial domination of Africa in the 19th century.
But as Western museums start to reckon with their colonial past, many are choosing to give back what is not rightfully theirs.
Al Jazeera’s Rory Challands reports from London.

Folk art doesn't look realistic for lack of skill - it's just because artists outside of academia choose to express the human form in other (more creative!) ways!

Benin city the capital of Edo State in southern Nigeria, is one of the country’s oldest and most historically significant cities. As the heart of the ancient Benin Kingdom, it is a place where tradition, culture, and modernity blend seamlessly. Known for its vibrant people and rich heritage, the city reflects Nigeria’s diverse and enduring legacy. From its deep historical roots to its rapidly modernizing landscape, Benin City continues to captivate visitors and residents alike.
Benin City’s residential neighborhoods showcase its evolving character and provide insights into the lifestyles of its people. Some of the most prominent areas include the G.R.A and airport residential areas known for their upscale homes and luxurious hotels.
These areas paint a vivid picture of the city’s evolving character and provide a window into the city’s embrace of contemporary living standards and serve as hubs for high-profile residents, including government officials, influential business leaders, and expatriates. The G.R.A, in particular, is distinguished by its spacious streets lined with manicured gardens, large compounds, and a variety of modern amenities, making it a prime choice for families and professionals who prioritize comfort, convenience, and exclusivity. The proximity of these neighborhoods to major transport links, schools, and healthcare facilities adds to their appeal, ensuring that residents have access to all essential services without compromising on their quality of life.
The Airport Residential Area complements the elegance of the G.R.A with its own unique offerings. Known for its modern infrastructure and strategic location near the Benin City airport, it attracts professionals who travel frequently and value quick access to air travel. The area boasts stylish homes, trendy cafes, and a growing number of high-end restaurants, creating a lively yet peaceful atmosphere.
Venturing deeper into the heart of Benin City, we discover neighborhoods which offer a different but equally captivating experience. This bustling area features a mix of residential and commercial spaces, creating a vibrant, dynamic environment. Residents of New Benin benefit immensely from its strategic location, which provides easy access to essential services such as markets, schools, and healthcare facilities. The area is a hive of activity, with shops, businesses, and local vendors lining the streets, catering to the daily needs of its residents. Despite the hustle and bustle, New Benin maintains a sense of community, with friendly interactions among neighbors and a shared pride in the area’s growth and accessibility.
These areas collectively showcase Benin City’s multifaceted character. While areas like the G.R.A and the Airport Residential Area cater to the affluent and those seeking a luxurious lifestyle, neighborhoods such as New Benin highlight the city’s industrious spirit and the resilience of its people. Together, they form a tapestry of cultures, lifestyles, and aspirations, painting a portrait of a city that is both rooted in its rich heritage and reaching for a bright and progressive future.
Over the years, Benin City has undergone remarkable transformation, with the expansion of road networks, development of housing estates, and establishment of modern amenities.
As Benin City grows, it retains its cultural vibrancy and connection to its storied past. The people of the city, known for their warmth and hospitality, continue to uphold traditions through festivals, ceremonies, and daily life. The city’s charm lies not only in its historical landmarks and cultural heritage but also in the character of its neighborhoods, where every street tells a story of resilience, community, and progress.
The new shopping mall in Benin City, Nigeria, marks a significant milestone in the city’s urban and commercial development. Situated in a prime location, the mall offers a blend of retail, dining, and entertainment options, catering to a wide audience. Its modern architecture and state-of-the-art facilities make it a key attraction, enhancing the city’s appeal and promoting local and international commerce.
Across Nigeria, the rise of shopping malls reflects the country’s dynamic economic landscape and growing middle class. Cities like Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt have seen a surge in retail developments, providing residents with access to global brands and modern shopping experiences. These malls also serve as hubs for social interaction, featuring cinemas, food courts, and recreational facilities.
The trend signals a shift toward urbanization and modern consumer culture, with developers focusing on meeting the demands of a younger, tech-savvy population. By fostering job creation and supporting local businesses, these malls are contributing to Nigeria's broader economic diversification and infrastructural growth.

Nigeria operates over 52 museums under the leadership of the National Commission for Museums and Monuments. The NCMM also works to achieve the return of plundered cultural artifacts. During the British colonial era in the 1940s, there was already an Antiquities Service, and the first national museum was founded in Jos in 1952, the same year as the Museum Rietberg. With the 1953 Antiquities Act there came the first successful export ban. Benin City has been home to the National Museum since 1973. Now two more museums are planned: the Benin Royal Museum and the Museum of West African Art (MOWAA).

The Benin Kingdom, located in present-day Edo State, Nigeria, is one of the most iconic and enduring monarchies in Africa. With a history that stretches back over a millennium, it is arguably one of the oldest kingdoms in Nigeria. Known for its rich traditions, remarkable artistic heritage, and sophisticated governance, the kingdom has transitioned gracefully into the modern era while retaining its cultural identity.
Edo State today is not just the cradle of the Benin Kingdom but also a hub of educational and economic advancement, exemplified by institutions like the University of Benin (UNIBEN) and the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC).
The Benin Kingdom is believed to have been established as early as 1180 AD, evolving under the leadership of the Ogiso dynasty. This era, characterized by centralized authority and progressive governance, laid the foundation for a flourishing empire. By the 12th century, Oranmiyan from the Ife Kingdom introduced the lineage of Obas, marking a period of territorial expansion and cultural evolution.
By the 15th and 16th centuries, the kingdom had become a powerful empire, with Benin City emerging as a center of commerce, diplomacy, and artistry. The kingdom's influence extended over vast territories, and its thriving trade attracted European powers, including the Portuguese and the British.
A pivotal moment in Benin’s history came in 1897 during the British invasion. Tensions over trade and territorial control culminated in a brutal assault on Benin City by British forces. The city was looted, its art treasures—including the world-famous Benin Bronzes—were plundered, and Oba Ovonramwen Nogbaisi was exiled.
Despite this upheaval, the Benin Kingdom demonstrated remarkable resilience. The monarchy was restored in the early 20th century and has continued to play a vital role in preserving Edo culture and heritage.
The Oba of Benin remains one of Nigeria's most respected traditional rulers. His Royal Majesty Omo N’Oba N’Edo Uku Akpolokpolo Ewuare II, the current Oba, is a custodian of culture and tradition, as well as a promoter of modern development. His leadership is a unifying force for the Edo people and an enduring symbol of their identity.
Established in 1970, the University of Benin is one of Nigeria’s premier tertiary institutions and a key landmark in Edo State. Located in Benin City, UNIBEN has become synonymous with academic excellence and innovation. It offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, producing graduates who contribute significantly to Nigeria's socio-economic development.
The university’s sprawling campus includes state-of-the-art facilities for learning, research, and recreation. With its diverse student body and highly qualified faculty, UNIBEN serves as a beacon of knowledge and progress, embodying the kingdom’s legacy of intellectual and cultural enrichment.
Another modern landmark of Benin is the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), headquartered in Benin City. As a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), NPDC plays a pivotal role in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
The company is involved in the exploration, development, and production of hydrocarbons, contributing significantly to the country’s economy. Its presence in Edo State underscores the region’s strategic importance in Nigeria’s energy landscape. Additionally, NPDC’s operations have spurred local employment, infrastructure development, and corporate social responsibility initiatives, benefiting the Benin community.
The Benin Kingdom's cultural traditions remain vibrant, with events such as the annual Igue Festival drawing attention to the spiritual and communal life of the Edo people. These ceremonies reinforce the connection between the monarchy, the people, and their shared heritage.
The kingdom’s art continues to captivate global audiences, with efforts to repatriate the looted Benin Bronzes gaining international traction. This resurgence of interest in Benin’s cultural legacy is a testament to its enduring relevance.
The Benin Kingdom of Edo State is a remarkable blend of ancient heritage and modernity. Its historical significance as a powerful empire, its rich cultural traditions, and its iconic landmarks like the University of Benin and NPDC underscore its role as a bastion of progress and pride.
As the kingdom continues to thrive under the respected leadership of the Oba of Benin, its legacy serves as a source of inspiration for Nigerians and a symbol of Africa’s historical and cultural greatness.

Just finger fucked
And busted up

With no direction left to go
Everyday sit up and wonder
