A bronze plate - Ama

A bronze plate- Ama -. depicting the Oba in the center and two servants at the side, in u-shaped pierced through open work form, the legs are ending in curved mudfishes, of excellent condition, incl. wooden stand.

Compared to the plate depicted at Luschan, this example demonstrates not only the extraordinary differences in quality among ancient bronze castings, but also the differences in where these bronzes were stored. Bronzes preserved for years in royal palaces are far rarer than those that have fallen into obscurity or were abonened.
