An unusual bronze head in the Benin style, thin-walled and also with an animal - a fragmentary snail - on the hairstyle. (cf. Benin.Head with a pather on top) The neck covered with a coral cuff. The mouth wide open. The almond-shaped eyes and the scarifications on the forehead were originally provided with iron inlays, remnants of which appear to still be present in the inlays on the forehead. Crack-shaped erosions on the left side of the head, missing iron inlays and smaller defects on the nose and mouth as well as on the right side and only a fragmentary snail on top do not detract from the expressive beauty of this rare, nearly unknown exemplare in the Benin style.
