Description from the seller
Shipping costs are calculated for a shipment by Mondial Relay, with delivery to a Mondial Relay pickup point. At the end of the transaction, you will be asked to kindly communicate your chosen Mondial Relay pickup point. Thank you for your understanding.
"The West experiences peculiar fashion phenomena that challenge stereotypes about body beauty. Curious paradox. And what if body paintings, scarifications, skull deformations and ear, nose and mouth piercings—practised generation after generation by many African peoples—assured an ideal body? For these interventions, as well as the objects worn on the body, whether visible or hidden, bracelets, necklaces, pendants and headdresses, transform men and women at every stage of their life, and constitute signs of their personal and social identity. To complete the analysis, this work draws on the testimonies provided by traditional sculpture: scarified statuettes or those bearing ornaments and adornments, whether carved in wood, ivory, or made in gold or bronze. All these works help highlight the desires and stakes that justify appearances."
