Ceremonial Headdress ("Ekori") for a Married Woman
At the time when this object was dispatched to Stuttgart, similar head adornments were among the most highly valued personal possessions of married women in Herero societies. Exclusively worn on special occasions, they also served to indicate the social standing of their owners. Text: Sandra Ferracuti.
