The Wa'omoni Earring – Seedwork Handicraft

About the Item

Seizing the composition of heritage and vitality, the Wa’omoni earrings are a part of our “Origin Collection,” fondly named after the indigenous Arawak name for the Caribbean island of Barbuda, closed with a Silver CZ French Hook setting and based with 1.5” x 1.5” rows of wild tamarind seeds, sprinkled with eye-catching jumbie bead seeds evenly dispersed around the edges of the spider web design. This pattern is not only a classic creation for the master seedwork artisans, but for the overall island as a typical pattern possessed by Antiguan and Barbudan locales. The original design of this earring was exclusively tailored for sale at The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture, but this is a larger replica that you can now adorn. Botaniqué allows the consumer to explore and celebrate African history, albeit under the jurisdiction of the diaspora. The painstaking process of creating these crafts represents the stamina of the people and the traditions who made the journey from the African Continent. This craft is of such value that its preservation and development should be an essential element of efforts to enliven African culture among the diaspora.
