Kran

Kran is the name given to artists who were members of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. The Yoruba people were known for their skilled bronze casting, which dates back to the 14th Century and continued through the 19th Century. The pieces by Kran artists often feature stylized human figures, animals, and objects. The bronze cast is a complex process, involving the use of wax molds to create the desired shape. The resulting sculptures, often used for religious purposes, are known for their intricate details and expressive forms.
