Item Description

Authentic Vintage African Beaded Yoruba Tribal Ceremonial Headdress - Red Birds

This unique tribal headress is 20 inches tall.  It can be worn, but needs a scarf wrapped around the head underneath. It is large enough to fit almost any head size, up to a Man's XXL. It is heavy (5.5 lbs) and may serve best as a conversation starting display piece. You probably wouldn't want to wear it to a party.

African Headress--20" tall
Covered with beads,
Decorated with red beaded birds

This unusual ceremonial headdress is pre-owned, at least 50 years old. It is a stunning piece, but the intricate beadwork has sustained some wear, because of age and storage.
