A Benin Bronze Head

from £55.00

This work is inspired by my interest in African art and artefacts.

The Benin head is part of West African court art, created for Oba-King. The head was made of brass, in the 16th century.

The image of the head was taken from a photograph.

The colour palette was chosen to emulate the colour of brass and bronze, the materials associated with Benin artefacts.
