资源简介：
This is a Great Head, a ceremonial title for the oba, the kinf of Benin (today's Nigeria). Such heads originally stood on memorial altars for deceased oba in the royal palace. Benin heads were not meant as lifelike portraits but as idealised representations of royalty that convey dynastic continuity over generations.
