DESCRIPTION

Bowl Depicting a Recumbent Scepter-Holding Queen

Ita Yemoo Site, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, c. early 14th century CE

The piece features a recumbent crowned queen holding a scepter, a powerful emblem of authority, seated atop a vessel that rests on a looping handle throne.

The throne design incorporates intricate details that reference quartz and granite stools associated with Obatala-linked priests, bridging the spiritual and royal realms. The queen’s reclining pose, combined with the symbolic scepter and throne, reflects her pivotal role in the narratives of leadership and the continuity of power in early 14th-century Ile-Ife.

The sculpture, attributed to the Ita Yemoo archaeological site, is believed to represent Queen Moremi, the legendary wife of Obalufon II. It symbolizes the transition of dynastic power and the enduring influence of Yoruba royalty. This artifact not only showcases the advanced metallurgical craftsmanship of its era but also serves as a testament to the cultural and historical significance of Ile-Ife in shaping Yoruba identity and heritage.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.
Learn more
Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.
