Cabeza De Ife

Buenos dias colmena.
I got a call yesterday from my Instagram Friend Hive account@teezmax to create an African Art that's unique and has an impact and to be delivered this morning. Immediately I thought of an African Art in Nigeria . Which I titled Cabeza de Ife.
The cabeza de ife is one of eighteen copper alloy #sculptures that were unearthed in 1938 at Ife in Nigeria, the religious and former royal centre of the Yoruba people. It is believed to represent a king. It was probably made in the fourteenth-fifteenth century C.E. The realism and sophisticated craftsmanship of the objects challenged Western conceptions of Africanart. The naturalistic features of the Ife heads are unique and the stylistic similarities of these works "suggest that they were made by an individual artist or in a single workshop."
