It's Nigeria not Benin. The names are confusing but the Benin Kingdom and people are in Nigeria, not the modern nation state called Benin.

It's older than the 15th century, more like 12th century at least and terracotta ones are probably older. Anyways, I got an email? Let me see if I can help.

@TheLocalStandard it is relevant. It is part of reason why as a Nigerian I am not enthusiastic about attempts to get back Benin bronzes that the Brits looted. They clearly don't care about the bronzes by their action of ignoring the ungoing craft to its now near extinction. So their actual reason for gunning for the return is just to get some pride boost.
