IGBO COSTUME 3, Nigeria

IGBO
Costume 3
76" high x 66" 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. Since the costume is flat, the entire costume can be hung on a wall, pinned in any configuration desired.  Note: the access opening in the front for the dancer is behind the band of hanging red, yellow and black pieces. There are some opened seams at the middle and at the neck. One of the hand covers is torn. I have not attempted to have the costume cleaned.
