Look what I painted 🥹🎨

Title: Figure: Bird of Prophecy (Ahianmwen-oro) Location: Nigeria Culture: Edo peoples Date: 16th–19th century #Edopeople #Edihistory

Benin 16th-century extremely rare hand bell, a masterpiece featuring an equestrian depiction symbolizing male achievement. Clapperless, it rings when its outer surface is struck, helping to repel evil spirits. The bell displays artistic leopard heads representing royalty, a horse and rider holding a staff and reins with the horse's head emerging three-dimensionally from the surface and a crocodile relief on the back, symbolizing the oba and his connection to Olokun. The surface treatment sets the figures against a stippled background with vine-like meanders and, on the back, a floral (tulip) pattern.

A double ivory gong 'Ẹgógó' made from elephant ivory depicting the Oba flanked by two attendants "Osa vbo Osuan." The 16thC gong now in the British Museum perform a key role during the Èmobo festival as a non-musical musical instrument used by the Oba to drive unwanted spirits.

Her husband had served as a private in the 8th United States Colored Infantry Regiment from September 1863 to November 1865. Nelson died on October 14, 1888 of tuberculosis. She and her first husband, John Tubman, were separated after she escaped to freedom, and by the time she returned, he had remarried.
