The Benin ivory mask is a minature sculptural portrait in ivory of the powerful Queen Mother Idia of the 16th century Benin empire, Nigeria....taking the form of an african traditional mask. Two almost identical mask are extant, one at British meuseum in London and the other at the Metropolitan meuseum of art in New York city. Both feature a serene face of the queen mother wearing a beaded headdress, a beaded choker at her neck, scarification highlighted by iron inlay on the forehead and all framed by the flange of an open work tiara and collar of symbols beings as well as double loops at each side for attachment of the pendant.
So i myslf decided to produce a pendant on with an art form .i.e i small pendant made of sculpture with designs on it, so i added glittery adhesive to it to make it shine
