the 16th century southwestern kingdoms shouldnt really be so hard to decipher or so mysterious, imo. most parts of the west have very detailed records of that period, and i'm wondering why its not the same for places like ife, etc. |
Re: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by anonymous6(f): 10:42am On Jun 16, 2012 |
tpia@: Interesting, I though it was the same for Ife: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ife |

i think we need to figure out the purpose of the oranyan staff in ife and what those marks on it stand for. like i pointed out previously, i feel they are indicators of a journey or kingdoms. the staff itself possibly functioned as a sundial of sorts. |

tpia@: Good topic, I feel you should create a brand new forum on that topic, so their would be attention devoted to it |
Re: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by tpia5: 7:12pm On Jul 09, 2012 |
I should, but the topic has already been discussed extensively on some other thread ( maybe this one). I need to look it up. 1 Like |

tpia@: where is the thread? |
Re: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by tpia5: 1:56am On Jul 18, 2012 |
i'd have to search for it. |

I was analyzing things on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/770881/art-architecture-yorubaland/12 pg 12 and 13. didnt get very far however. |
Re: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by anonymous6(f): 11:29am On Jul 19, 2012 |
tpia@: I can see, I think the issue is finding enough sources on that topic but still a good topic |
Re: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by tpia5: 2:18pm On Jul 19, 2012 |
True, not enough sources and in addition, sometimes i do not feel like dealing with thread derailers who are backed by the mods 1 Like |

TerraCotta:what do you think of some who link ile ife and lost wax casting to Indonesians? i think they mostly think so because of the non "negroid" features you find of the brass castings, the asian shaped eyes and the bridge of the noses. i never understood why their features are the way they are though. |
Re: BBC's Documentary On The 'Bronze Cast Head Of The Ife King' by PAPAAFRICA: 4:02am On Apr 14, 2013 |
these pieces of art are truly glorious if everyone tries to claim them |

PAPA AFRICA: what do you think of some who link ile ife and lost wax casting to Indonesians? i think they mostly think so because of the non "negroid" features you find of the brass castings, the asian shaped eyes and the bridge of the noses. i never understood why their features are the way they are though. Who the hell links this art to Indonesia? Many books and articles have been published by scholars that have studied the art for over a century. There is no cultural, artistic, historical, geographical, physical or any other kind of connection between this art and Indonesia. And the people depicted in the art are clearly black. Where's this stuff about "non-negroid" features coming from? 1 Like |
