Highlights
Ngum, No. 4 of the House of Bamileke. A beaded portrait head modelled in Cameroon clay and covered bead by bead in glass beads. 22 cm high.
Deep crimson, features drawn in silver spirals. The quietest of the house and the one people stand in front of longest.
HOW SHE IS MADE
She wears the crown knot of the Bamileke women. Molded in Cameroon clay, then covered bead by bead. No two rows land the same way twice.
Each portrait is built by Mustapha in his workshop: the head is modelled in wet clay and left to dry, then the beadwork is laid on row by row, following the sculpted relief, so the beads wrap the brow, the eyelids and the lips instead of flattening them. The last patch takes as long as the first. Nothing here is moulded twice.

WHERE IT GOES
On a console, a mantel, a shelf of books, a plinth. She reads at eye level and holds a room on her own; the beadwork changes with the light through the day.
SHIPPING AND CARE
