  • A fantastic Gelede style Yoruba mask featuring brightly pigmented birds eating bananas. The mask face is white with bright red lips and dark scarification.
  • Gelede is a ceremonial dance to celebrate mothers and female ancestors during festivals. Meant to educate and inspire, masks are created to show the power these women hold. Worn and created by men, the masks come in all shapes and sizes. The dancers dress themselves in colorful, elaborate costumes and place the headdresses on top of their heads, faces covered by a veil to hide their identity. The dancers vigorously move to the beat of drums while singing and putting on a spectacular performance in honor of the women in their lives.
  • The origins of Gelede come from the story of Yemoja, “The Mother of all the orisa and all living things”. Yemoja could not bear children so she consulted an oracle. He advised her to offer sacrifices while dancing with wooden images on her head and metal anklets on her feet. With the ritual complete, Yemoja gave birth to a son nicknamed “Efe”. Later she gave birth to a girl, Gelede.When Gelede and Efe grew older and were married themselves, they too were unable to have children. The oracle suggested they try the same ritual as their mother had to conceive them. Soon after, both children had families of their own, developing this masked dance into a traditional ceremony.

not tight around your legs
Nice socks. They are thin and light weight so they are ideal to wear with snug fitting shoes. They have a nice cable style design to dress them up. I have been wearing a pair all day, and they do not dig into my legs at all. Love that. I have not washed them, but I see no reason why they would not wash up well in cold water and a low dry temperature. The price is great so give them a try.

Nice ruffle socks
First of all, I like the thickness of these ruffle socks. They are not too heavy nor too thin, making them ideal for all seasons wearing. The ruffle edges make the socks unique and beautiful. The quality feels quite good. I like the socks in six different color, all of them are beautiful.

Cute, very breathable material
These socks are super cute and comfy. I love the material-- it's light and very breathable. The ruffles are so cute. I think these socks work great with ankle-high boots or chunky sneakers.
