Mid-Century Benin Bronze Leopard

An exquisite  20th century Benin bronze leopard figure, a testament to the regal power and artistry of the Benin kingdom. Crafted with precision and reverence, these leopard figures stand as a tribute to the Oba, the symbol of royal authority, portrayed through the magnificent leopard motif. The aged verdigris patina gracefully adorns these sculptures, adding a touch of antiquity to their already majestic presence.

This African figure, meticulously crafted using the lost-wax casting technique, stands as a pinnacle of this ancient art form. The circle tribal engravings adorning the bodies of the leopards add depth and cultural significance to their design.
