It needs to be studied and displayed for the world to see instead of in a private collection in somebody's basement abroad.

How can it be displayed?

Sell it and become a millionaire bro. Dont forget to give me 10k for using my data to advise you

Call on a museum to come and buy them only that they are cut and damaged. The spirits in them may not be potent again

Dig more and take them to another location, you have probably millions in your hands. Do not disclose you exact location! National Geographic Channel, they will link you up!

my thought exactly, I would prefer it to be sold to our local museums. I don't value the idea of oyinbo guys always being with our artifacts

Take pictures of each of the items and take them to the nearest museum.

Op... the last pic...such artifacts fetch money. You guys need to either stop digging...or dig carefully... collect all those little complete stuff...or the broken stuff along with the pieces. Google is your friend.... get in with Egyptian archealogists first..... they can give you better advice.... your elders should be updated. Archealogists will be able to tell you about the pieces.... who..when... what they were used for... significance..etc. Like someone said...such should be kept in a museum where that piece of history can be preserved and displayed. Of course...your community would benefit financially.Do not disclose the location of the findings ...artifacts are as valuable as gold...or even more....people who know that will invade your land.

Metropolitan Museum of Art..... they pay ...really pay for stuff.
Sotheby's....an auction house that auctions such and takes a percentage of the sale price.

Look very well before you leap.

Go to the national must at Igbo ukwu there in anambra state. You will meet some one to talk to

Wow. any professional archeologist or take them to the National museum, or post them on social media or something.

You can look for a good archeologist from a university to study this for you. It'll turn him to a prof while you can get money from local and overseas interest on the land, plus some of those things will def fetcg goid money after verification.

Igbo Ukwu (Nigeria): West African



Igbo-Ukwu is notable for three archaeological sites, where excavations have found bronze artifacts from a highly sophisticated bronze metal-working culture dating to 9th century AD, centuries before other known bronzes of the region.

The first, called Igbo Isaiah, was uncovered in 1938 by Isaiah Anozie, a local villager, who found the bronze works while digging beside his home. Five bronze artifacts from the original excavation are now in the British Museum's collection. They include a small staff, a head of a ram, a large manilla, an intricately designed crescent-shaped vessel and a small pendant in the shape of a local chief's head with scarification (ichi) marks on the face.

Formal excavations by the archaeologist Thurstan Shaw in 1959 at the request of the Nigerian government, resulted in the discovery of two other sites, Igbo Richard and Igbo Jonah, containing the remains of an ancient culture. Later, these were excavated as well. Artifacts have included jewelry, ceramics, a corpse adorned in what appears to be regalia, and many assorted bronze, copper, and iron objects. Some of these contain materials that are evidence of a long-distance trading system extending to Egypt.

Radiocarbon dating placed the sites to 850 AD , which would make the Igbo-Ukwu culture the earliest-known example of bronze casting in the region. The craftsmen were working centuries before those who made the more well-known Ife bronzes. The archaeological sites in southeastern Nigeria are associated with the Nri-Igbo. The three sites include Igbo Isaiah (a shrine), Igbo Richard (a burial chamber), and Igbo Jonah (a cache). Artifacts found in these sites have shown that by the 9th century AD, the Igbo-Ukwu people had established a complex religious system and an economy based on agriculture and trade with other African peoples as far as the Nile valley.
