Yoruba Beaded Crown Gold and White

Description

NB: Please enquire for availability prior to ordering

"Among the most spectacular beaded objects from Africa are the crowns of Yoruba kings in Nigeria. The faces on the crowns represent and honour ancestors and the inclusion of birds on many of the crowns refers to the spirit world and the king's ability to mediate between the realms of human beings and spirits. Repeated patterns in the design suggest the interconnectedness of all life and the balance needed to sustain it."

NB: Please note that slight variations may occur as these are a handmade item
