This is a bronze commemorative head sculpture depicting a regal female figure. The face is naturalistic with soft, symmetrical features—high forehead, full lips, and calm, focused eyes. The head is adorned with an elaborate headdress composed of intricately detailed, woven patterns, with side loops and a central crest at the top. The neck is stylized and elongated, decorated with horizontal ridges that resemble coral bead rings. The overall craftsmanship emphasizes elegance, authority, and cultural symbolism, typical of royal portraiture from the Benin Kingdom in Nigeria.
