The art of Ife and Benin in Nigeria, which flourished from the 11th to the 17th centuries, is recognized as the most important in Black African art. Their sculptures are highly refined and sophisticated in their realism, representing a high degree of completion. From a Eurocentric perspective, art critics have praised this area, calling it the Black Roman period or the Renaissance. This is a sculpture based on the sculptures of that time. The sense of weight formed by carving out a single piece of wood is extraordinary. What catches the eye is the natural beauty of the wood and the form of the hat used in traditional rituals. It has a strong presence as a sculptural art piece. • Unique presence: A rugged form unique to hand-carving and a texture that conveys the breath of the craftsman. • The joy of nurturing: As you use it further, it will transform into an even more tasteful antique. 【Recommended Uses】 • Versatile interior: Use it to hold fruit, or as a place for keys and accessories. Just placing it will add a powerful accent to your room. • Incorporate African art into a sophisticated modern space or a natural Scandinavian-style interior. This is a common interior design technique in Europe and America. It alone adds depth and personality to your room. • You should be able to feel the powerful energy that is not found in mass-produced products. ◯ Size cm Height 28, Depth 11, Width 6 Also on sale #Kevin'sRoom Antique Vintage Brocante Orne de Feuilles Old tools Art gallery Modern art Contemporary art African art Primitive art Art Museum art Mid-century Japan Folk Crafts Museum Handmade Folk crafts Asian goods Scandinavian goods American toys American goods Showa retro Marimekko Alessi Iittala bird Aalto Lucie Rie Lisa Larson Bernard Leach Kanji Kawai Bauhaus Sun Koloq Sōetsu Yanagi Sori Yanagi Takashi Murakami Arita ware Kutani ware Ko-Imari Imari Yachimun arts & science Holmstock Kensington Cat Noritake Royal Doulton Scheurich Villeroy & Boch Conran Shop arts and science BALZ Francfranc IDEE Idee
