If you want to learn more, try to get these 2 books from "Le petit musée de la récade" Cotonou. BENIN.

Hello Jim, Hello Luc,

Thanks a lot for your comments !

The books seems really interesting,
I heard they made a really nice museum in Cotonou, Benin and collected back a lot of their treasures lost during colonial presence .

I saw the expo of the Dahomey kings in Paris at the Quai Branly museum
years ago, with Glélé, the lion king, The shark king ... really fascinating !

Now they send them back to Benin, normal I think...

Kind Regards

How fabulous to have all six of these. They will make a great display full of mystery and intrigue.
