This bronze portrait head of Queen Mother Idia, also known as the Iyoba of Benin, is a powerful and historically inspired sculpture that honors one of the most revered figures of the Benin Kingdom. The dignified expression, regal posture, and intricate head adornments reflect her status as a queen mother, warrior, and spiritual leader. The portrait embodies strength, wisdom, and authority, paying tribute to the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Benin bronze works.
Hand made using the traditional lost wax casting method, this sculpture demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship and fine attention to detail. The rich brown patina enhances the depth of the bronze, highlighting the elaborate textures, facial features, and ceremonial elements of the portrait. Signed by the artist B.C. Zhang, the piece represents a respectful and skilled interpretation of this iconic historical figure.
Mounted on a solid black cubic marble base, the sculpture gains both stability and a striking visual contrast that elevates its presentation. Ideal for collectors of African art, history enthusiasts, or admirers of culturally significant sculpture, this bronze portrait serves as a meaningful centerpiece for a home, office, or gallery. Its handcrafted quality and symbolic presence make it a timeless and collectible work of art.Bronze Dimensions with Marble Base: Height 15.5" X Width 5"
