Bronze group
The poorer quality of this figural group suggests that it may have been produced for sale after 1897. It depicts the Oba (king) Ewuare, who ruled in the 15th century. He is often depicted being supported by two dignitaries (the crown prince and the chief army commander). Thus, he is a telling symbol of a sacerdotal Oba who can by no means rule autocratically, but depends on the support of various segments of the population, for whom he also bears supreme responsibility.
