Publisher's Note Africa Adorned is the first book to document and describe the incredible panoply of African decoration, surveying every major tribe style and every material used. More important it explains the social, religious, and personal significance of jewelry and body adornment--how it marks power, caste, marital status, age group, and more. Three hundred superb photographs display the jewelry and objects worn in dramatic ceremonies and rituals and in daily life, while several sequences of photographs show how the jewelry and decorations are actually made.
