reation date of the Benin Altar Tusks is not known. They are associated with the 16th century Benin Kingdom. The tusks feature carved royal figures and scenes depicting power, ritual, and conflict. The lower portion of the tusk displays carved depictions of royal leopard faces, 16th-century Portuguese figures, and other motifs. The Kingdom of Benin engaged in trade with European nations, most notably the Portuguese Empire, which established contact with the region in 1485. This interaction facilitated the exchange of a variety of goods, including ivory. The oba controlled the supply and distribution of ivory, and commissioned the Igbesanmwan, a royal ivory carving guild, to create the tusks. The tusks were placed on the ancestral altars of the oba.
The tusks underwent maintenance and modification over the centuries. They were washed, bleached, and coated with "orhue," a white clay substance. They were sometimes recarved or repaired, adding or removing figures and motifs according to the historical and political context.
In 1897, the British punitive expedition entered Benin City, taking numerous artefacts, including several Benin Altar Tusks. The British soldiers and officers involved in the expedition sold the items to museums and private collectors in Europe. Several Benin artefacts, including altar tusks, were damaged during the World Wa
