There is something adventurous about that place . it seems to be a vague cloth that has to be gotten into before the content is seen. Benin; I have never been there but I see a glimpse of what it is like . Sacred, interesting , deep and a shot of curiosity Have you seen the coronation of their oba; his heavy attire,  the camp fire night ? The always covered faces of the oba's wives ; why? , have you wondered of the religion the Royal family belong to ? Their artifacts , their so heavy not regular beads . A tale to grope for.
