Nia Mixed Media Portrait

This striking portrait captures the grace and strength of an African tribal woman, adorned with necklaces made of real beads crafted from bone, shell, horn and wood. 
The beads that cascade around her neck are not just accessories but are steeped in meaning, symbolising a connection to the earth, community and ancestral tradition.

Traditionally, these necklaces were meticulously layered and arranged, to tell a story of craftsmanship passed down through generations, where each bead holds significance - whether it represents status, age or family ties.
