The structure of this group of figures is related to the royal altarpieces. However, it does not depict a king, but a kneeling person who is guarded by two members of the Ewua guild - recognisable by the round hat with the cross - and a small Portuguese man. It could be a depiction of Attah of Idah, who was defeated by King Esigie and forced into Christian baptism in a legendary campaign at the beginning of the 16th century. The iron chain holding the kneeling man, the small dog as a sacrificial animal and the severed heads link this group to Ogun, the god of war and iron. The reference to Esigie in this group of figures, which was certainly not cast until the 18th or 19th century, fits into the context of the renaissance of these powerful kings of Benin's early period by the kings of the 18th century.
