About the Item

Atoke Oni koroba is the true beauty in a black culture that rests not only in its great artistic history but in the natural values which our African women keep maintaining the African heritage. This art shows a lot of values from the dark shinning skin tune to the hair styling, bids neckless, and clothing the vintage fashion and heritage. The hairstyle on Atoke’s head is called koroba which are done by Royal women to show greatness and prestige (Written by the Artist) Painting Ships in a well-protected tube from Nigeria This work is unique, not a print or other type of copy.
