介绍（中）	贝宁皇家艺术的影响在奥沃尤为明显，奥沃是一个约鲁巴王国，于15世纪和18世纪再次被贝宁控制。奥沃位于约鲁巴兰的东部边缘，与贝宁和伊菲几乎等距，伊菲是约鲁巴文化和宗教中心，贝宁的统治王朝就是从这里起源的。尽管一些奥沃的艺术品类似于伊菲的高度自然主义的黄铜和赤陶雕塑，但奥沃国王和酋长的服饰最像贝宁的同类 Owo以象牙雕刻而闻名，许多为Owo统治者制作的象牙饰品和杯子在形式或图像上与贝宁的物品相似。Owo的最高级别酋长使用象牙色服装元素来展示他们的崇高地位。从许多象牙饰品中可以看出人们对图案和纹理的兴趣，比如这件附在Owo统治者华丽的仪式服装上的象牙饰品。它们描绘动物的头部和人形，通常镶嵌深色木材或椰子壳，以强调其大胆的雕刻设计。
介绍（英）	The influence of Benin royal art is particularly apparent in Owo, a Yoruba kingdom that came under Benin control in the fifteenth century and again in the eighteenth. Located on the eastern edge of Yorubaland, Owo is almost equidistant from Benin and Ife, the Yoruba cultural and religious center from which the reigning dynasty in Benin traces its origin. Although some Owo artworks resemble the highly naturalistic brass and terracotta sculptures of Ife, the regalia of Owo's kings and chiefs is most like that of their counterparts in Benin. Owo is renowned for its ivory carving, and many of the ivory ornaments and cups made for Owo's rulers are similar in form or imagery to objects from Benin. The highest-ranking chiefs of Owo used ivory costume elements to demonstrate their exalted status. An interest in pattern and texture is seen in the many ivory ornaments such as this one attached to the Owo rulers' opulent ceremonial costumes. They portray animal heads and human figures and are often inlaid with dark wood or coconut shell to emphasize their boldly incised designs.
