Ritual Expressions: African Adornment from the Permanent Collection is a focused presentation by LACMA of a rich diversity of textiles, clothing, and headwear representing more than 20 cultures. In many cultures throughout the African continent, bodily adornment is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of its creators. The visually stunning pieces, with vivid colors, mesmerizing patterns, and symbolic motifs, often signify prestige and power and are critical in establishing and transmitting the wearer’s identity and rank.
