A Bronze Plaque - Ama - in the style of Benin, depicting a crocodile, which has fetched a fish, wide plaque, rectangular in form with side flanges. Background surface decorated with river leaf patterns and stippling. The flanshes with a double wooven ornament, which is- according of Kathrin Wysocki Gunsch - stylistically a sign of the regency of Oba Esigie (1504 - 1550), despite the blow holes in the casting a very detailed design of the well known shape of this bas-relief.
