Description
This crown is a traditional crown given to a Yoruba ruler upon coronation. The Oba, or ruler, is considered a being with great spiritual power, capable of mediating between the natural world and the spiritual world. The bead crown is a quintessential item of the Oba as it represents his authority, power, and connection to the ancestors. Beads are considered sacred to the Yoruba, making a beaded crown the ultimate symbol of authority. The Oba only wears this crown on special occasions, as it is too sacred to wear as a casual fashion statement.
