VOTIVE FIGURINE IN BRONZE PROBABLE REPRESENTATION OF A WARRIOR OF THE EDO, NIGERIA before 1940
The Edo people or Bini (from the word "Benin") are an ethnic group mainly living in the state of Edo and spreading through the Delta, Ondo and River States of Nigeria. They speak the Edo language and are descendants of the founders of the Benin Empire.
The kingdom of Edo extended over the whole of a territory which corresponded to the territories of present-day Benin and Nigeria today.
If a genealogy, or a chronology of the various rulers of Edo is difficult to establish because a large number of these rulers are above all legendary, it is nonetheless true that the Edo today continue to 'occupy the same territory and that the lineage of their former kings continues to extend.
Benin bronze, which was made using the "lost wax" method, is now famous all over the world. As a rule, Edo created the figures of King Oba and his soldiers, which can be called analogues of European talismans and amulets.
Bronze pieces from the Kingdom of Benin are known around the world. Almost all of their artworks were created in honor of the king or Oba, who ruled with his ancestors since the 15th century. Styles have changed over the years. Although they look like many vintage pieces, they are all 20c pieces. Each is still sculpted by hand and then cast in bronze using the lost wax technique. The figures that do not represent the king show the members of his court.
The magical dimension of the former rulers of Edo was often invoked in secret ceremonies during the period of colonization.
