Early 20th C. Yoruba Beaded Leather & Burlap Bag

Item Details

Description

West Africa, Nigeria, Yoruba, ca. early 20th century CE. A beautiful leather and burlap bag of rectangular form with a semi-circular front flap, all elaborately adorned by hundreds of barrel beads in translucent and opaque hues of tangerine, marigold, emerald, lemon yellow, caramel, cobalt, and white. Beads were a symbol of status and wealth among the Yoruba peoples and both sacred and secular objects were decorated with meaningful patterns and designs created with tiny glass beads. All sewn onto the bag with rattan fiber, the beaded imagery on this bag includes a pair of flowers surrounded by an abstract design and a rhomboid-patterned border on the front of the body and an anthropomorphic visage enveloped in similar geometric decoration on the front flap. The sides of the body bag are lined with 27 lovely strings of white and yellow beads, while the periphery of the front flap shows several strands of white beads arranged in small arches. The verso of the bag is mostly bare with some woven decoration presenting a floral design in shades of blue, yellow, and pink. Size: 8.375" L x 8" W (21.3 cm x 20.3 cm); 11.5" H (29.2 cm) on included custom stand.

Provenance: private Chicago, Illinois, USA collection; ex-Doug Dawson Gallery, Chicago, Illinois, USA; B.C. Holland Gallery, Chicago, Illinois, USA
