Yoruba Wooden Crown Headpiece Nigeria

Description: {Description}Yoruba Wooden Crown Headpiece Nigeria The Yoruba Headpiece from Nigeria, part of the Pearson Collection, is a remarkable example of the intricate craftsmanship and cultural significance of Yoruba artistry. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this headpiece features a dynamic blend of materials and textures, including beads, shells, and metalwork, intricately arranged to create a stunning visual composition. Symbolizing status, spirituality, and cultural identity, such headpieces are often worn during ceremonial occasions, including weddings, festivals, and important rituals, where they serve as a powerful expression of Yoruba heritage and tradition. As part of the Pearson Collection, this headpiece not only showcases the artistic excellence of Yoruba craftsmanship but also represents a valuable cultural heritage preserved for generations to come. Provenance: Robert Pearson Collection Bob Pearson began collecting African art later in his life. He was an engineer, inveterate climber, and long-time collector of books and paintings. Spurred by the Douglas Society at the Denver Museum of Art, and his friendship with noted collector George Heggarty, he began building an enormous, eclectic collection. His African art library grew to several hundred books. He loved textiles and “material culture”-things that had domestic use, like spoons, cups, stools, and chairs, as well as masks and carvings. His collection included items from more than thirty African countries, and his fine eye gave him pieces ranging from a gold dust scale to huge Dogon figural ladders. Africa Direct is honored to have been chosen to sell them.
