Today art is life, without art or nature beauty of life there is no life, or tourism.
Benin Art is the art from the kingdom of Benin or edo empire ( 1440 - 1897) a pre Colonial Africa state located in what is now know as the southern south region of Nigeria.
The Benin Art is primarily made of bronze and ivory coast. Benin Art was produced mainly for the court of the Oba of Benin. A divine ruler for whom the craftmen produced a range of ceremonially significant objects. The royal arts of the Benin kingdom of south Central Nigeria affirm the centrality of the Oba or divine king, protrarying divine nature while recording the kingdom's significant historical event.
