@TheAtlantic It stands on a traffic circle at entry to center city. The artist had been up all the previous night applying final touches. He looked pretty rough that morning, so he declined to be photographed alongside his masterwork — PolitiTweet.org

@TheAtlantic This is very possibly the largest brasswork ever cast in Benin CIty, about twice human-size. It was done for the 5th anniversary of the ascension of the present Oba. The unveiling was scheduled for the day after I left the city, so I captured it still wrapped in plastic https://t.co/p6kLF9N6nF — PolitiTweet.org

@TheAtlantic It's an interesting statement on our world culture that the plinth beneath the massive Benin brasswork is based on classical Greek forms: fluted columns, dentile moldings. — PolitiTweet.org
