对尼日利亚“青铜器”组成的兴趣始于1897年，这一年英国对贝宁城进行了惩罚性远征，当时尼日利亚金属艺术作为战争战利品引起了西方世界的注意。尽管这些艺术品的大部分被传播到博物馆，以及随后的研究重点，但关于作品的时间顺序以及形式和图像之间的关系的重要问题仍然没有答案。
INTEREST in the composition of Nigerian ‘bronzes’ began in 1897, the year of the British punitive expedition to the city of Benin, when Nigerian metal art was brought to the attention of the western world as a spoil of war. In spite of the dissemination of much of this art to museums, and the subsequent focus of research, important questions concerning the chronological ordering of the pieces and relationships among forms and iconographies remain unanswered.
