Holztür

19. Jahrhundert | William Downing Webster

This Door is part of the historical collections from the Benin Kingdom, in present-day Nigeria. In 1897, the kingdom was conquered and Oba (king) Ovonramwen banned into exile. The loot from the royal palace was then sold through the art market to finance the conquest in retrospect. Many of these objects today constitute European collections. Addendum: Through its provenance, this Door can be directly linked with the events of 1897.
