great choices.

I like to imagine that putting on this coronet would spur the transformative qualities that often accompany Yoruba traditions and celebrations. I see the wonder in what this coronet might symbolize for the Yoruba culture, and how one might become someone else with it upon their head.

Whimsical and regal at the same time. Love the handiwork! Really cool piece.
