Benin Bronze Leopard sculpture - 1.1 Golfing A hand-painted set of dynamicA Benin bronze leopard, cast by the Edo people of the Kingdom of Benin in Nigeria. The leopard is one of the great symbols of royal power in Benin art, long associated with the Oba the kingdom's ruler. Cast by the traditional lost wax method, pieces like this were historically prized in West Africa both for the metal itself and for the artistry of their ornamentation, a marker of wealth and status. A characterful, collectable piece with real presence.
