The Composition of Brasses From Ife and Benin

Puntos clave

This research aims to compare the composition of brass alloys from Ife and Benin.
Analyzed brass alloys from four different sources of mixed zinc and lead ore in Ife.
Included lead and copper from various sources in Benin brasses.
Conducted comparisons with brass analyses from Europe and other African regions.
Brass alloys from Ife displayed distinct compositions due to local ore sources.
Benin's brasses included additional materials, indicating historical practices of remelting old castings.
Overall compositions suggest variations influenced by geographic and historical metallurgical practices.

Resumen

ABSTRACTS Brass alloys from Ife are compared with a selection of brasses from Benin. Four sources of mixed zinc and lead ore were used in Ife. In Benin lead and copper from different sources were added to these four alloys, which may represent the melting down of older castings. Comparisons are made with analyses from Europe and other parts of Africa.
