It was a trophy of empire, taken from a royal shrine by Ralph Locke during the raid of Benin in 1897. Locke then gave it to RAMM after moving to Exeter to be the city's Prison Governor.
The Edo people of Benin, now part of modern Nigeria, ruled much of West Africa when the Portuguese arrived there in the 15th century. The bronze head would have been owned by an Oba, or King of Benin. They were traditionally made in the royal foundry to commemorate a King's predecessor. Heads such as these were created between the late 14th and 19th centuries and symbolised the ruler's authority and power. The hole on top would once have supported a carved ivory tusk.
