IGBO
Costume 4
70" high x 60" wide
$400
SOLD

This costume has not been vetted.   It has a very heavy and complex surface of interwoven and appliqued rope-like cloth over a burlap-like base. It has the typically small conical breasts of a female costume. Since the costume is flat, the entire costume can be hung be hung on a wall, pinned in any configuration desired.  Note: the access opening in the front for the dancer is beneath the band of red yarn. There are some repairs in the crotch area. One of the hand covers is missing, the other has dark and light sides. I have not attempted to have the costume cleaned.
