Description and Significance:
Handmade from tiny glass beads, this stunning Yoruba beaded chair from Nigeria is a true masterpiece. Each bead is meticulously threaded and stitched directly onto the fabric that covers the wood frame. The beading technique used in this chair has a long history in Yoruba tradition and was originally reserved exclusively for the king and queen.
