Product Description

Intricate motifs in glowing color express a young woman's joy. Edward Adeniran's elegant batik tells of her rite of passage. When she reaches maturity, her elders initiate a girl into womanhood. They dress her in white and bathe her in the stream, then adorn her with jewelry and cowry shells. She is then ready for the ceremony in the village square. Adeniran names this wall hanging Iyawo-Tuntun, or "newlywed" in the language of Nigeria's Yoruba people. NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers.
