History of Art 211

  My name is Justin Dwinell and you can just call me Justin. I am going into my 3rd year here at CSU-Pueblo. I am on the Football and Track Team. I am going for my MBA in business with an emphasis on management and marketing. One of my biggest hobbies outside of school and sports is snowboarding. I love the thrill and adrenaline it brings me as well as some the  views you can only see when you are on top of a snow capped mountain. This is the piece of art that I found interesting on smart history.org. It is Benin Art and is originated in Africa. This specific piece really caught my eye because I feel that there is so much detail that went into making this but to the modern day person we have no idea what this was. Was it a tool used or strictly a piece of art used for decor?  Link: https://smarthistory.org/benin-art-patrons/
