In Grassfields culture, the birth of twins or triplets in a family is considered a sign of blessing. The parents earn the title of "Tagni" for the father and "Magni" for the mother. They are then de facto exempt from certain socio-cultural obligations. The Magni Bamiléké are venerated and, as such, take part in cultural practices for the purification and initiation of young people into the kingdom. The chief gives oil, salt and jujube to feed the twins, who are considered gods. The African mask is carved from burnt kolatier wood and covered with white clay. Made 100% by hand, each piece in the boutique is unique.

Description

The Bamiléké beaded head with blue dots will bring a touch of pep and originality to your interior design.

The Bamileke beaded head, a design object

It is a unique decorative object hand carved by women artisans, called Amazons, following the Bamileke traditions of West Cameroon. Carefully applied to a terracotta surface, the beads accentuate the features and the royal headdress with strongly contrasting colors.

History of Bamileke beadwork

The gradual and methodical appropriation of the art of beading by women has taken place since the beginning of the 20th century. The Amazonian beadworkers in Bamileke country obtain their beads at the periodic village markets. The beadworker covers each object with a cloth on which she delicately sews the beads.

The African beaded head is a decorative item that fits perfectly into an ethnic chic style. The beaded head of Cameroon reproduces the famous effigies of the Bamileke sovereigns: a king, a queen, a prince, a princess depending on the size.
