In Benin city, the capital of Edo state, the Royal Bronze Casters Guild, which was founded in the 13th Century, lives on.
Hand-sculpted clay figures are transformed into bronzes using an ancient wax-casting process passed down through the centuries. Ashionye Ogene reports from the UNESCO world heritage site, Igun Street.
