Description: The British Punitive Expedition of 1897
General James Phillips's mission to make more favorable trade agreements with Benin City ended the oba's warrior chiefs killing all but two British delegates.

In return, Britain seized over 2,000 objects. The new oba commissioned a replacement altar thereafter.
