Bamana Chiwara Antelope Headdress w Hat and custom stand TjiWara African Mask
A beautiful. Vintage(30-60 year old) danced and used Bamana Chiwara(of which numerous spellings including Chi Wara and Tji Wara) headdresses appear in pairs for planting and harvest festivals. Carved of wood, they are worn tied to a basket on the head and thus are actually a headdress and not a mask. The body is hidden by a raffia or hemp fiber costume. The chiwara is the mythical hero who came from the skies to teach the people to farm. Tji is a word that means work and‘wara” is animal, thus a Tji Wara is an animal of labor or work. Most chiwara headdresses are part roan antelope and part man. Many chiwara have elements of other animals. The chiwara is one of the'societies" of the Bamana. The chiwara dance was originally a"religious" ceremony. Now, for many of the Bamana it is for a plentiful harvest. Comes with custom ... moremade black painted metal stand. See below for detailed description of the Chiwara and the Bamana People. We will also send you a certificate of authenticity with a much more detailed break down of thier use and cultural significance. SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR MANY PHOTOS! MEASUREMENTS: Overall. On custom stand(included) 35" including tuffts of hair, wihout stand(but including the attached helmet mask) 30.5" Chiwara(wood without hat) 26" width of hat approx 8" at base. Height of hat approx. 3.5"Chiward at widest point is 2.5" wide(base) PROVENANCE: This headdress was purchased by Scott Farrell of Zanzibar Tribal art from the collection of Francos L’Heuxe of France and Ivory Coast. Africa in June of 2005. Mr. L’Heuxe is a Frenchman who lived in South Africa and the Ivory Coast of West Africa for over 50 years.

Ethnic Black African Americana 2 vintage photos woman in hat and Leroy
2 BLACK AND WHITE VINTAGE PHOTOS: Oval photo of woman in hat mounted on photo card. Soiled and chipped edges and small crease and photo of man"Leroy" in ragged clothing mounted on scrapbook paper. It's hard to give all the details so examine the photos carefully. These are a collector's lifetime selections of ethnic/black/Negro/colored paper items. I acquired this collection and will be listing the over 600 items during the next few weeks. Because of the numbers. I will do some groupings of similar items. There are many of these items that are crude and derogatory in their depiction of African Americans. They are a not so savory part of our history, but those who do not know history will repeat it, so hopefully these may remind us of what is the past, so we don't repeat it.

Mali: Tribal used African Authentic Natural Fiber Dogon hat.
Large Old and Rare Tribal us. Mali: Tribal used African Authentic Natural Fiber Dogon hat. It measures diameter; 36 cm and 24 cm height. ed African mask from Igbo. Nigeria. Hand carved from a single piece of wood. With color pigments. Height: 64 cm. Living mainly in the forested areas of south-west Nigeria. On both sides of the Niger River the Igbo number some ten million individuals. Mainly farmers and merchants, they also hunt and fish. They are subdivided into thirty-three subgroups and are spread out among about two hundred villages scattered through the thick forest or semifertile marshland. Only on the northern and western edges of the area, under influence from Igala and Benin, are hereditary rulers found. The heads of families form the council of elders, which shares its power with numerous secret societies. These societies exercise ... moregreat political and social influence. They are highly hierarchical, their members passing from one level to the next. There is strong social pressure toward individual distinction, and men can move upward through successive grades by demonstrating their achievements and their generosity. The lack of overall centralization among the Igbo-speaking peoples has been conducive to the development of a great variety of art styles and cultural practices. The earliest sculpture known from Igboland is from the village of Ibo Ukwu. Where the grave of a man of distinction and a ritual store, dating from the 9th century AD, contained both chased copper objects and elaborate castings of leaded bronze. Ibo sculpture is subject to rather strict rules: the figures are generally frontal, symmetrical, and upright, with legs slightly spread, arms held away from the body, and hands stretched forward, palms open.

I have 20 prime hats that I plan to offer on this site.the rest are going ... moreto the design trade. I added photo's(6) of the Elephant masks a" beaded colorful pieces with big ears" that the feather Ju-Ju hat sits atop to complete the dance costume I have only 2 elephant masks left.I took these photo's at the central market in the village of Bafosam, Cameroon during my 2006 visit to West Africa.These hats are shipped by my agent from the village to the port town of Doula where they are loaded on Air France Carriers making one stop in Paris to refuel and on to LA.I prefer to ship by air rather than sea to avoid moisture that goes hand in hand with long ocean voyages.This is the best method to import these beautiful hats. Watch out for fake or after market home crafted JuJu hats I see them on ebay and they are not worth buying. Don't be swayed by contrived stories of royalty. Village chiefs, spiritual birds etc. the real hats are used by the Bambalike people at times of festival and are made by them exclusively and can only be found in northwest Cameroon its just that simple! and traditional hat makers do not use ostrich feathers, stay clear of fake hats I see being offered. I have imported and sold these hats wholesale to the design t
