EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Igbo-Ukwu civilization, dating back to the 9th - 10th century. The bowl on stand, made of leaded bronze, stands at a height of 20 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The intricate decoration on this piece is truly awe-inspiring. Delicate patterns adorn its surface, featuring an array of West African motifs such as locusts, beetles, crickets, and grasshoppers. These meticulously crafted insects seem to come alive amidst an enchanting backdrop of flowers and foliage. Every detail on this beaker-like vessel exudes artistry and skillful craftsmanship. Its ornate design serves not only as a functional container but also as a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of the Nigerian artisans who created it centuries ago. As we gaze upon this ancient artifact captured by photographer Dirk Bakker, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty that once graced the Igbo-Ukwu civilization. This decorative dish holds within it stories untold and secrets yet discovered – an emblematic representation of cultural heritage preserved through generations. Let us marvel at this extraordinary work of art that continues to inspire awe with its timeless elegance and profound historical significance.
