EARLY YORUBA SCULPTURE BEADWORK / YORUBA BEADED CROWN / AFRICA / NIGERIA

It's solid and very heavy for it's size. It's 18" tall and 10" wide. It has wear. Staining and shows age throughout. There is some minor expected bead loss. The tiny gourds to the left and right front are real. The central figure being carried is the King well guarded and protected. This is from the 1950's. Possibly 60's, but it could be earlier with some later bead additions. This is a beautiful Yoruba beaded piece. My camera causes a slight color brightness shift; this piece looks much better in person. I do not ... moreship outside the lower 48 states. I've inserted a fixed shipping charge. If shipping is less a refund will be provided.

Yoruba Adenla Beaded King's Crown, Nigeria, African art, mask orisha ife Yorouba
The Yoruba people are the largest art producing ethnic group in Africa. And are renowned for their copious forms of artwork. A largely agrarian society, the Yoruba are distributed throughout Nigeria, Togo, and Benin, and number in the range of 12 million people. Their artistic interpretations of people are generally rendered in a realistic style, minus the exaggerated facial features, in contrast with many other African tribes which produce highly stylized, even surrealistic or impressionistic representations of the human form. A highly popular art-producing group among collectors, the Yoruba are known for their numerous and elaborate art forms as much as for their history of human sacrifice. An uncommon art-form, the Adenla is a beaded crown, originally intended to be worn only by the most prestigious kings who could trace their lineage ... moredirectly back to the original king of the Yoruba people. Frequently bearing multiple faces, and the sacred bird, the hornbill, as in the case of this piece, the crown was ceremonial, and only to be placed on the head of the king by his most important wife. He was not to look upon it and the sacred bird(s) as to do so would evidently interfere with his destiny. This piece was purchased from a stateside collector with West African heritage, and was claimed in excess of 100 years of age. We do not have a COA, or more concrete provenance than this, and the piece is being sold as is. Condition is quite good, and appropriate for the claimed age, feature few missing beads, a few loose strands, some staining, and the internal cloth surface bears stains commensurate with age and use. It features many bird figures, indicating strong medicine(magic) two faces, one forward, one back, a beautifully coherent and patterned color scheme, and even"pele" traditional facial scarifications located on the cheeks of Yoruba people) executed in the use of white glass beads. An exceptional, one of a kind piece of Yoruba artwork, and one that will immediately elevate the prestige of any collecti
