Interpretation

The bear of BENIN is design in several aspects of his "history" and "tradition":

"Tata somba", "Royal chair", "King walking steak", "le cavalier Bariba", "Village of Ganie", "la Jarre trouée", "Egoun".

These are several aspects of BENIN history and tradition which made BENIN one of the most attractive and visited place in tourism.

Each of these aspects can't be explained here now on this page, detail can be fully given to anybody who wants to know about all the different aspects verbally or by writting from the artist himself.
