The Benin Bronzes are a set of plaques and sculptures designed by the Edo people of present-day Nigeria.
The artworks, which showcase historical events, royalty, and deities, are exquisitely detailed with lost-wax casting techniques.
Taken during colonial expeditions, the bronzes remain influential, both for their technical mastery and narrative richness.
They inspire metalworkers across the world while raising debates over cultural heritage preservation.
