Product description
Ife bronze sculptures, often depicting royal or spiritual figures, are valuable testaments to the art and culture of the ancient kingdom of Ife, located in southwestern Nigeria. Ife is renowned for its refined, naturalistic bronze and terracotta art, produced between the 12th and 15th centuries. These works of art symbolize the cultural richness, spirituality and importance of kings and deities in Yoruba society.The sculpture represents a couple of royal or divine messengers, standing side by side. The posture of the figures, the complexity of the details, ornaments and the solemn expression give the whole an aura of dignity and serenity. Made in bronze, this sculpture illustrates the technical mastery of Ife artisans, who knew how to use the lost wax technique to create works of great finesse.This Ife bronze sculpture is a remarkable work of art that illustrates the technical mastery and artistic acuity of Ife artisans. The figures are loaded with symbolism, probably representing high-ranking royal or divine messengers with authority and deep spirituality. The sculpture is not only a historical testimony, but also a celebration of the culture and spirituality of the Kingdom of Ife.These works constitute one of the greatest treasures of humanity and are among the centerpieces of museums around the world.Dimensions: Height 63cm, width 39cm, depth 11cm Presumed age: mid-20th century Material: bronzeProduct specifications
