Kichwa cha Bronzi kutoka Ife
Kichwa cha Bronzi kutoka Ife au Kichwa cha Ife[1] ni moja ya sanamu kumi na nane za aloi ya shaba zilizogunduliwa mwaka 1938 huko Ife nchini Nigeria, kituo cha kidini na kifalme cha Wayoruba. Inaaminika kumwakilisha mfalme. Huenda ilitengenezwa katika karne ya 14–15 BK. Uhalisia na ufundi uliokamilika wa vitu hivyo ulipinga mitazamo ya kudharau na ya kimajivuno ya Magharibi kuhusu sanaa ya Afrika. Sifa za kiasili za vichwa vya Ife ni za kipekee, na kufanana kwa mitindo ya kazi hizi kunadokeza kuwa zilitengenezwa na msanii mmoja au katika warsa mmoja.[2][3][4][5]
