This brass plaque shows the Oba, or King, of Benin and his attendants. Why do you think the Oba is shown to be much bigger than the other people? The plaque is on display at the British Museum.
The Benin bronze, known as an "okukor", was given to Jesus College in 1905. In 2016 it was removed from display and the Legacy of Slavery Working Party (LSWP) recommended it be returned.
