Classifieds for Benin, culture and Brass Oba Figure

The Benin culture retains a divine kingship government whose second dynasty originated from the Ife culture in the late 14th century, and this dynasty continues in an unbroken line of descent through the present day. The Ife were celebrated brasscasters, and their knowledge of this art form was transferred to the Benin. When the Benin ruler, or oba, accedes to the throne, he has shrines created to honor his predecessor and to honor his own mother, the Iyoba or queen mother. Many different brass sculptures are created as part of these shrines.

Brass Oba Figure

The three brass sculptures in the Davis Collection are made in the style of Benin shrine figures, and they likely represent royal individuals in the Benin culture. All three figures are made in traditional Benin style, with simplified, idealized, youthful adult features, outlined eyes, and a forward-facing gaze that symbolizes sight into the spirit world. The figures are also all made of resilient brass, a royal material that represents the continuity of kingship; its reddish color symbolizes royal blood, divinity, and also a threat, as it refers to the royal privilege of having the sole right to spill blood, or order capital punishment, and this right is believed to deter evil.
