Ẹdẹlayo
Princess Edelayo was the eldest daughter of Ọba Ewaure I. Following the death of her brother, she should have been crowned; however, she died before being enthroned.
Ekhaguosa Aisien has also suggested that these figures may represent Irhevbu, the wife of the deity Ake. The symbols of the Ake deity in Benin are the bow and arrow, which are depicted on the pedestal of the figure that was part of the Ethnologisches Museum Berlin collection. Whether these figures depict Edelayo or Irhevbu, the Iwu body markings visible on their torsos clearly indicate that they represent Edo women.
Digital Benin collates digital material from institutions, and some of this material is inherently colonial and contains words, terms and phrases that are inaccurate, derogatory and harmful towards African and African diasporic communities. Catalogue transcriptions, book titles, exhibition titles and museum titles may contain harmful terms. We recognise the potential for the material to cause physical and mental distress as well as evoke strong emotions. Owing to the scale of the collection’s data, a process to implement sensitive-content warnings in the displayed data is still incomplete. The material within the catalogue does not represent Digital Benin’s views. Digital Benin maintains a strong anti-colonial, anti-racist position and affirms its support for centring the humanity of historically marginalised and disenfranchised communities.
