This grand sculptural piece is a Tji-Wara headdress by the Bumbara people of Mali in northwest Africa. These headdresses are worn by designated farmers at planting time during a ceremonial dance. The headdress and dance are symbolic of an antelope, which is coveted as a perfect animal. Placed in an entry this piece is a dramatic introduction and a conversation starter.
