Benin head    (N°1202 )

The scarifications indicate that the character was not an    Ebo. At the deeper scarifications places were inserted two blades long ago. Nonetheless this is not a trophy, but the portrayal of a foreign prince showed in the court, as was the case at Benin King's places. The carefully plaited coiffure rises in tiers and the neck is covered with the feature of rows of red coral beards, King's privilege.
