Female Headdress (Nimba, D'mba, or Yamban), Baga, 1850, Art Institute of Chicago: Arts of Africa

This majestic headdress embellished with upholstery tacks depicts the traditional Baga ideal of mature womanhood, with pendulous breasts that connote child-bearing and nurturing. The incised lines covering its surface mimic body scarification, and it was originally colored with pigments. These massive sculptures are worn by young men in entertainment masquerades that celebrate Baga ethnicity. In the late 1950s Baga art traditions and related religious practices were temporarily abandoned due to the introduction of Islam into the region and the “demystification” campaign of Guinea’s first president. The country achieved independence in 1958 after the Islamic Revolution of 1954–57, and this national program was aimed at purging traditional religion of its essential mysticism. In practice, demystification led to persecution and the massive destruction of ritual art. Baga culture and art was subsequently revived in the late 1980s. W. G. Field Fund, Inc.; Edward E. Ayer Endowment in memory of Charles L. Hutchinson Size: 119.4 × 33 × 59.1 cm (47 × 13 × 23 1/4 in.) Medium: Wood and brass tacks with traces of pigment

Backstage prep with one of our very first sculptures we named PLENTY PLENTY and that is inspired by the Baga Nimba headdress which "represents the mother of fertility. Nimba is the joy of living; it is the promise of abundant harvest. The Baga Nimba, or D'mba, represents the abstraction of an ideal of the female role in society. The Nimba is essentailly viewed as the vision of woman at her zenith of power, beauty, and affective presence".(rand African art) x x x #unisexjewelry #unisexjewellery #jewellery #jewelry #jewel #brooch #pin #handmade #handcarved #mensfashion #womensfashion #women #fashion #photoshoot #styling #blackowned #simplicity #beauty #africanjewelry #africaninspired #africanluxury #luxury #luxurylifestyle #travel #bijoux #bijouxlovers #jewelleryaddict
