Description
Ceremonial dance headdress for the Queen Mother, probably from the Grasslands region, Cameroon Glass beads and organic materials. Dimensions: 120 x 80 x 5 cm. A visually striking African ceremonial piece, elaborately decorated with glass beads on an organic base and presented in a bespoke frame. Its stylised, frontal silhouette, enriched by an elaborate geometric and chromatic design, corresponds to a typology associated with attire and the ritual representation of female power within courtly and ceremonial contexts. The rich ornamentation of the beadwork, together with the presence of hanging elements and the careful symmetry of the composition, reinforces its status as a prestigious object, conceived not only for performative use in dance, but also as an emblem of rank, authority and representation. The piece stands out for its strong aesthetic presence and the technical refinement of its execution. Item held in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export licence from the country of origin may be required.
