Description: | 'Hornimandun textile'. Large dark blue dyed textile hanging, decorated with batik dyed figures in multiple colours. The word 'HORNIMANDUN' is printed along one edge.
The hanging was commissioned by the Horniman, and made in 1991 during the exhibition 'Yoruba: A Celebration of African Art' (15 March- April 1991). It features a motif representing each department in the museum. The top and bottom borders were removed at some point for display elsewhere, and false hems inserted, which were weighted to help it hang properly. The top and bottom borders are probably nn19740.1 and nn19740.2. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | hangings (art) dye Yorùbá batik dyeing wax textile | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-229547 |
