EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the crowned head of an Oni, a powerful and revered figure from Ife in Nigeria. Created between the 12th and 15th centuries, this magnificent piece is made of zinc brass and stands at a height of 24 cm. The photograph, taken by Dirk Bakker, beautifully captures the intricate details and craftsmanship of this ancient artifact. The regal nature of this artwork is evident in its depiction of a royal male figure adorned with a majestic crown. With its naturalistic style, the sculpture exudes an aura of authority and power that befits a monarch. The headdress worn by the Oni further emphasizes his status as a leader within Yoruba culture. Dating back to the medieval period, this piece offers us a glimpse into West African history and artistic traditions. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Ife and its people. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time to witness the splendor and grandeur associated with African royalty during that era. Displayed here as part of a private collection, it is important to note that this photograph falls under public domain due to its age. Therefore, it can be appreciated freely without any commercial implications or restrictions on usage rights. Dirk Bakker's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every detail of this remarkable work while honoring Nigerian artistry from centuries past.
