Elaborately beaded Yoruba crowns (ade) and other artifacts do not simply add beauty or signify high social status. The ade is the most important object in royal Yoruba regalia and the right to wear one is limited to a small number of kings (obas) descended from royal families. The beaded veil that hangs down from the headdress is an important part of the crown. By covering the king's face, the veil downplays the king's identity as an individual and reinforces his role as divine leader. The veil is also said to protect onlookers from the king's powerful gaze.

Hand made in Nigeria.
