African beaded head from the hotsell Bamileke tribe of Cameroon. [UNIQUE PIECE]
In the past, the art of dressing with masks, statues or other objects made of glass or ceramic beads was intended only for the king, his family or the notables of his court. The pearls could be imported from Venice or from local production, with a salvaged glass, but their symbolism was always the same, showing the prosperity of the ruler.
The technique of covering prestigious objects with a layer of sparkling pearls gave birth to an art of great expressiveness and remarkable symbolism.
