Tribal Head Pair Brass Lifestyle Handicraft

This paired sculptural bust presents two presences in quiet dialogue—one crowned by an emphatic, horned headdress that reads as authority and ritual charge, the other softened by rounded coiffure and beadwork that suggests lineage, ceremony, and intimate adornment. The burnished metal surface, mottled with patina, catches light like remembered touch, turning ornament into a kind of narrative script across brow, neck, and chest. Composed against a stark void, their forward-facing gazes feel both iconic and human, proposing identity as something forged between protection and display, sovereignty and kinship. In their symmetry-with-difference, the work becomes a meditation on duality: masculine/feminine, public/private, the individual and the ancestral collective held in the same luminous skin.
