Is this really a Benin bronze head as indicated on the webpage?

From another website - there are other photos of the same bronze head (already sold) but from different angles.

those two don't look like each other but the first link you posted is a imitaition or authentic Edo/benin bronze sculpture but the second link is not from IFE or Benin, it is a imitation, that people buy. If you read that link well they are selling that sculpture for $900, which a authentic one wouldn't even sell for that price, and the design is below standard compared to the ones seen in the video.

do any of you know how much the ife bronze sculptures worth?

[quote author=tpia@ link=topic=797242.msg9709529#msg9709529 date=1323206147]i do think we have to move beyond the fact that initially the europeans did not believe africans were capable of such art- almost every discussion about the sculptures focuses on that alone at the expense of examining the sculptures themselves.[/quote]you have a point

@anonymous6 Thank you I feel very relieved to know that!! Thanks for your input!

you welcome

tadelara:
I am Nigerian-American and I wanted to get an honest opinion of how Nigerians who were born and bred in Nigeria views us (Naija-Americans) especially in the dating pool.  Just to give a brief bio, my father is Nigerian and my mom was African-American (may God continue to keep her soul in perfect peace) I am a female and recently began to embrace my heritage and culture about 4years ago. I also don't know my father's language fully but I do know a few greetings (I know that doesn't count) . I have come to the conclusion that I do not want to settle down with an African-American guy due to the fact that I would like my future kids to have a solid foundation and roots on where they come from. I have visited Nigeria before and I feel as though I could settle down there once I retire. I have also dated a Nigerian and had a great experience and that is why I am wondering how we fit in especially those of us who were not brought up in Nigeria and were not taught the culture, language, customs, and heritage. Any suggestions and opinions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Well I am Nigerian & both my parents are Nigerian, but I wasn't born and raised in Nigeria but in America(basically I am a American born Nigerian), However my parents raised me and my siblings in the culture(and have been to Nigeria many times). All I can say from my experience, Nigerians born and breed in Nigeria have no problems with people like you, especially since you are trying to connect with your roots, culture and be Part of the community. I feel it is good you are considering to settle down in Nigeria when you retire, I have the same feelings to.

Any way I believe in the power of Karma, every women is grown and knows right from wrong, & is entitled to chose their path but they should face the consequences of their actions, whether good or bad.

In regards to your post --- Im too tired to click play on both videos [/quote]with 11 women is that possible, any way I guess you have the energy

I would also add that you are correct when it comes to the P-en-is size between black men and Asian men, Oprah did a show on that and it was scientifically proven & concluded by a British doctor that Asian men have the smallest out of all races(but I think they meant orientals). Black(in the show they said african american men) and white men were the ones with the biggest but black men were a few point's ahead of white men in the study.

At work every friday during break we (workers) play football on the astrotuff and afterwards we use the shower in the locker room to freshen up and head back to work, KAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I thank God that I came as a black man, though I have heard that the Asian's manhood is small but not shockingly small and we are talking about four guys everything looked like a memory stick,  Most Asian lady know that they are going to marry them away (Arrangy) thats why most of them secretly date black guys before they finally marry them off[/quote]ok, LOL

I don't believe it, especially from oriental or Asian people, these people don't like blacks. wasn't it a Asian guys who said black women are ugly from his study because of low estrogen levels when in reality Black women have the same estrogen levels as other races and you want to believe this study, lol
