| Abstract: | Benin art is characterized by unique media, form and techniques. Some features such as ethnic marks on memorial heads, animal motifs, composite images, and geometric designs, suggest the importance of Benin art in public symboling, and as historical markers. The art also suggests the role of magic in political authority and this may have been a general principle in West Africa. |
