13-15" x 4-4.5" x 3-5"

These colorful handmade pieces have been expertly hand beaded by the skillful Maasai people where beadwork has been an important part of Maasai culture for many years. Maasai women set aside time everyday to meet, converse and work on beaded jewelry which include necklaces, bracelets and pendants. All of the tribes’ beadwork is made by the women but is worn by both women and men. 

Each colorful bead represents a different aspect of the Maasai culture: Bravery, (red), Energy (blue), Purity (white), Nourishment (green), Warmth & Generosity (orange), Cycle of Life (yellow ), and Black represents the color of the people and daily struggles - their unity and harmony.

Medium - 17"headdress, 15"strings (35” in total w/ stand)

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.
