- A fantastic Gelede style Yoruba mask featuring brightly pigmented birds eating bananas. The mask face is white with bright red lips and dark scarification.
- Gelede is a ceremonial dance to celebrate mothers and female ancestors during festivals. Meant to educate and inspire, masks are created to show the power these women hold. Worn and created by men, the masks come in all shapes and sizes. The dancers dress themselves in colorful, elaborate costumes and place the headdresses on top of their heads, faces covered by a veil to hide their identity. The dancers vigorously move to the beat of drums while singing and putting on a spectacular performance in honor of the women in their lives.
-
The origins of Gelede come from the story of Yemoja, “The Mother of all the orisa and all living things”. Yemoja could not bear children so she consulted an oracle. He advised her to offer sacrifices while dancing with wooden images on her head and metal anklets on her feet. With the ritual complete, Yemoja gave birth to a son nicknamed “Efe”. Later she gave birth to a girl, Gelede.When Gelede and Efe grew older and were married themselves, they too were unable to have children. The oracle suggested they try the same ritual as their mother had to conceive them. Soon after, both children had families of their own, developing this masked dance into a traditional ceremony.

Cute purse. Good quality. Kind of small for every day (unless you're a small purse person) but great for a night out or a lunch outing.
