My Osogbo Story I
$9,000.00
My Osogbo Story is a commanding, regal profile portrait celebrating Yoruba cultural heritage and female authority. Set against an archival ground of collaged vintage text, a statuesque woman is crowned with an architectural, woven coiffure that sweeps upward like an elaborate royal crest, adorned with sacred white cowrie shells. She wears avant-garde geometric sunglasses with engraved indigenous patterns and a statement earring shaped like an ancestral wooden hair comb (Oya), complemented by deep crimson coral beads around her neck.
