Περιγραφή από τον πωλητή
Benin Bronze Group - Benin City, Νιγηρία
Αυτή η πολύμερη ομάδα από ορείχαλκο/μπρούντζο ανεβαίνει από μια ορθογώνια, κουτιά-βάση, οι πλευρές της οποίας καλύπτονται με πυκνή διαπλοκή διακόσμηση και ανακουφιστικά μοτίβα. Στην κορυφή εκτυλίσσεται σχεδόν κλειστή ομάδα σ standing figures of varying rank. Pointed headdresses, neck and breast ornaments, as well as held vessels and attributes, individualize the figures. A raised arm figure to the side and the staggered arrangement of the bodies lend a ceremonial dynamism to the otherwise strictly frontal composition. The dark brown surface, partially oxidized to green, and minor imperfections clearly reveal the technical complexity of the lost-wax casting process.
Such groups of figures are part of the courtly metalwork of the Edo Kingdom of Benin in Benin City. Particularly since the 18th century, complex altarpieces were created on rectangular bases, depicting rulers, dignitaries, and their retinues in hierarchical order. They were associated with royal ancestral altars, dynastic commemoration, and the visible display of political and spiritual authority. Rank was indicated by size, clothing, coral jewelry, and position within the group. The precise identity of the individuals depicted in this example remains unknown due to a lack of established provenance.
Literature (selection):
Paula Ben-Amos: The Art of Benin. London 1980.
Barbara Blackmun: Oba’s Portraits in Benin. 1983.
Kathleen Bickford Berzock: Benin: Royal Arts of a West African Kingdom. Chicago 2008.

Legal Framework
Under the 1970 UNESCO Convention in combination with the Kulturgutschutz Gesetz (KGSG) any claim for the restitution of cultural property becomes time-barred three years after the competent authorities of the State of origin obtain knowledge of the object’s location and the identity of its possessor.
All bronzes and terracotta items offered have been publicly exhibited in Wolfgang Jaenicke Gallery since 2001. Organisations such as DIGITAL BENIN and academic institutions such as the Technical University of Berlin, which have been intensively involved in restitution-reseaches (translocation-project) over the past seven years, are aware of our work, have inspected large parts of our collection and have visited us in our dependance in Lomé, Togo, among other places, to learn about the international Art trade on site. Furthermore, the National Commission for Museums and Monuments (NCMM) in Abuja, Nigeria, has been informed about our collection. In no case in the past have there been restitution claims against private institutions such as the Wolfgang Jaenicke Gallery
Our Gallery addresses these structural challenges through a policy of maximum transparency and documentation. Should any questions or uncertainties arise, we invite you to contact us. Each matter will be reviewed diligently using all available resources.
