About the Item
Adire Eleko “Spinning Tops"
Woman’s Wrapper
Yoruba People
Nigeria
Circa 1960s-1970s
Cotton brocade (bazin cloth) (3 panels), starch-resist and stencil dyed with indigo
76 ¼ x 66 ½ ins (190.6 x 166.25 cm)
In this wrapper, the dynamic pictorial graphics associated with the adire eleko tradition are reduced to a single kinetic motif, aptly titled “spinning tops” or “records.” Note the unexpected blurring effect of the brocade weave on the crisp concentric patterning within each circle; the slightly textured rows of brocade also introduce a linear play to overall composition. The artist's or studio’s marks are seen on the boder.
The textile is in perfect condtion and seemingly had never been worn before it was collected.
