Nigerian Bead Party

This sassy young Yoruba woman is assembling her elaborate glass beads in preparation for a special festival. She arches her back in excitement, a precursor to the traditional dance she will confidently execute at dusk with the other women of the tribe. This piece is hand-sculpted from clay and draped in authentic African fabric and different types of glass and trade beads. Won Award of Merit at 2002 California State Fair and Sacramento Fine Arts Center. Shipping and handling charges are additional.
