Oroka
Oroka (finger rings) were often worn as amulets of protection. Priests or diviners affiliated with different deities may bless Oroka for different purposes, such as protection of the wearer.
Only a small number of Oroka are still known today in institutional collections. Even fewer of those are elaborate forms cast in brass and with coral inlays that would have been worn by the Ọba (Plankensteiner 2007. p.348 ). There are a number of simpler forms, without coral, that may have been worn by women of the royal court.
Educational Material
Digital Benin collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards African and African diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Digital Benin’s views. Digital Benin maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
