IMAGE 3: Oliphant (hunting horn), ca. 1525. Description: “Images highlighting the intertropical situation of Portugal’s empire were characteristic of Manueline architecture. An armillary sphere (bottom) and the coat of arms of the Portuguese House of Aviz (top) adorn an olifant made by craftsmen in Benin. Ivory objects like this horn from ca. 1525 were commissioned and purchased from West African artisans by Iberian travelers beginning in the late fifteenth century.” Description from Hugh Cagle, Assembling the Tropics (Cambridge University Press, 2018), p. 52. © The Trustees of the British Museum.
