Questions About African Head Sculpture
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    There are varying traditional names for African head wraps, head ties or head scarves — the head wrap may be called “dhuku” (Shona), “duku” (Chichewa) or “gele” (Yoruba). It is worn for various reasons and has various functions. In Nigeria, head wraps can be quite ornamental and elaborate as compared to their conservative counterparts in South Africa. The motifs might include nagas and other mythological beings and are embedded in the textile to convey sacred themes, often including protection of the wearer from evil forces. On 1stDibs, you can find early 20th century tribal head wraps from different parts of Africa.
