Benin Bronze Head.

3D ModelNoAI

The object is a bronze head featuring a rounded cap with faint decorative patterns. The face has large almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and full lips. Vertical markings are incised on the forehead, with a central band flanked by shorter parallel lines. Around the neck are multiple horizontal ridges, which represent coral bead collars traditionally worn by nobles in the ancient Kingdom of Benin, now present-day Nigeria. The head rests on a circular flared base, and its overall form conveys dignity and status.
