Framed Print of Orufanran Costume Attachment: Crocodile Head 17th-19th century Yoruba peoples
Orufanran Costume Attachment: Crocodile Head 17th-19th century Yoruba peoples, Owo group The influence of Benin royal art is particularly apparent in Owo, a Yoruba kingdom that came under Benin control in the fifteenth century and again in the eighteenth. Located on the eastern edge of Yorubaland, Owo is almost equidistant from Benin and Ife, the Yoruba cultural and religious center from which the reigning dynasty in Benin traces its origin. Although some Owo artworks resemble the highly naturalistic brass and terracotta sculptures of Ife, the regalia of Owo's kings and chiefs is most like that of their counterparts in Benin. Owo is renowned for its ivory carving, and many of the ivory ornaments and cups made for Owo's rulers are similar in form or imagery to objects from Benin. The highest-ranking chiefs of Owo used ivory costume elements to demonstrate their exalted status.. Orufanran Costume Attachment: Crocodile Head 316593. © PL Photography Limited, Piemags
