Iyagbon, the Mother Earth, is a Goddess within the Edo Pantheon in Nigeria. This Goddess protects and watches over all living creatures, culture and its artefacts. This bronze mask of Iyagbon is both a traditional and a contemporary artwork. It represents a new generation of African Art travelling to Europe to reconnect to their ancestor’s art in the diaspora thus creating awareness for the topic of provenance and the restitution of artefacts. The mask of Iyagbon is cast in bronze, a material traditionally used to immortalise a subject, to perpetuate it in the memory for the posterity.
