This figure possibly stood on an ancestral altar. It shows a religious dignitary with the ceremonial sword "eben", with which during the ceremonies in honor of the ancestors was danced in front of their altar. At the ritual climax, the memorial heads of the ancestors were touched with "eben" to establish a connection with them. Text: Dietmar Neitzke.
Staff physician Dr Bludau arranged contact with Ziemann for the museum. The latter visited Old Calabar and acquired the plate from the King of Benin, Ovonramwen Nogbaisi, who had been imprisoned there by the English. It is said to be one of the few objects that the king was able to save during the storming of Benin and take with him when he fled. The king donated the plate to Ziemann in October 1902. Text: Markus Himmelsbach.
