Crafted with intricate detail, this piece is made of cloth and velvet, reflecting the rich artistic traditions of West Africa. Measuring at 32x32.5 cm, it exudes elegance and cultural significance. The bag's exquisite embroidery and beadwork tell a story of African craftsmanship and creativity. Its vibrant colors and patterns are a testament to the skillful hands that brought it to life. This artifact represents the ingenuity of an unknown African artist from the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this beaded bag has found its way into the hands of eMichael Graham-Stewart, who recognizes its historical value as an emblematic representation of Nigerian culture. The bag bears influences from various tribes such as Calabari and Yoruba, showcasing their distinct styles within one remarkable accessory.
