Description: Wonderful bronze African head of an IFE King. The King has the typical vertical lines in the face and wears a tribal hat. The IFE region was formerly the religious and royal center of the YORUBA people. Beautifully made, with plenty of details. It has a beautiful black, greenish patina. This bronze head is of high quality and was made with the “cire perdue technique”, and is therefore unique in its kind. Beautifully finished off in detail. Almost all Benin art was created to honor the king who has reigned, with his ancestors, from the 15th century. Each is sculpted by hand, then cast in bronze. Good condition, but with possible signs of use and normal holes of cast glitches. Please study the photos well. Dimensions: Height: 16.1 inch, 41 cm. Width: 8.7 inch, 22 cm. Depth: 6.7 inch, 17 cm.
