Much of the rich diversity of traditional African art derives from the fact that the continent has been peopled by countless dif
ferent cultures since the first humans lived there 200,000 years ago. Can you tell which of these sculptures were created by artists from the same African culture
Notable African arts and sculptures remain some of the Benin bronze sculptures dating back 1400 AD. These sculptures were born out of the rich culture of the Ancient Benin people. Some of these sculptures include the sculpture of the queen of Benin, a warrior on a horse back, and over 30 magnificent pieces scattered across the world as a result of the colonial raid. The historic empire of Benin is celebrated as home to one of the most revered art sculptures in the world. These masterpieces date back thousands of years and were known to be mostly commissioned by the King/Oba of Benin at the peak of the Benin empire.
