Commemorative head of an Oba
This head made of brass was placed on a royal
altar. The eyes are placed somewhat asymmetrically
and seem to be looking in different directions.
Is this to show that nothing escapes the
Oba? 1907.44.381. 19th century (exhibition, "Whose objects", Museum of Ethnography, Stockholm, 2010)
