Benin Bronze Leopard Sculpture – 56.24

Main Description

A striking 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 using the traditional lost-wax method, pieces such as this were historically valued in West Africa both for the metal itself and for the artistry of their ornamentation. Rich in character and sculptural detail, this is a distinctive decorative piece with a strong sense of history and presence.
