The 16th century bronze plaques from the kingdom of Benin are among
the most recognized masterpieces of African art, and yet many
details of their commission and installation in the palace in Benin
City, Nigeria, are little understood. The Benin Plaques, A 16th
Century Imperial Monument is a detailed analysis of a corpus of
nearly 850 bronze plaques that were installed in the court of the
Benin kingdom at the moment of its greatest political power and
geographic reach. By examining European accounts, Benin oral
histories, and the physical evidence of the extant plaques, Gunsch
is the first to propose an installation pattern for the series.
