Benin Pendant Mask : ウィキペディア英語版
Benin Pendant Mask

The Benin Pendant Mask is a small ivory mask that was worn around the waist or neck by the Oba at Benin that is often associated with Queen Idia, who was a powerful monarch during the early sixteenth century at the Benin court in what is now Nigeria. Two almost identical masks are extant: one at the British Museum in London and the other at the Metropolitan Museum in New York.〔 (Highlights ), British Museum, retrieved 1 November 2014〕〔Metropolitan Museum Collection (Queen Mother Pendant Mask: Iyoba ), MetMuseum, retrieved 1 November 2014〕
==Description==
The two masks were probably made in the early sixteenth century, when Queen Idia, mother of Oba Esigie, ruled the Benin court. The British Museum and Met Museum's examples are virtually the same,〔 with only minor decorative differences. Both pendants denote a powerful image of monarchal elegance, having a crown composed of a series of minute heads that represent bearded Portuguese men,〔 who were significant traders with the Benin Empire at the time. The foreheads of both masks were inlaid with a pair of metal strips to denote scarification marks. The band below the chin is slightly different in the two surviving examples. The collar band on the example in the Metropolitan Museum is damaged.〔
