TheIkwo is a group of theIgbo people who live in southeasternNigeria.[1] The area is rich in mineral resources, and the ancestors of today's inhabitants developed bronze-casting techniques over a thousand years ago, some found in the town ofIgbo Ukwu. The creativity and technical skill demonstrated by those early Igbo bronze, metal andterra cotta crafters is recognized as among the finest in the history of the world.[2] They number around 600,000.
