A massive wood-carved headdress with stylized face (showing classic Yoruba features) of bulging eyes with defined upper lids, long, straight, triangular nose, symmetrical scarification patterns consisting of three horizontal lines on each cheek, and a short beard from ear to ear just underneath the lower lip. Two large “ears” protrude on either side of head and act as “scaffolding” for numerous attachments of symbolic content: birds and lions predominate, but also visible are amulets, wooden claws and beads, crosses, and an insignia shield of some kind. The ears terminate in two oblong mirrors with lions leaping off of each. Layers of pigment are visible, giving the impression that it has been repainted over time.

This colorful print has a series of vertically-oriented wavy lines that are broken up into small sections with thick black lines. The small segments are then colored in red, blue, yellow and green. In addition to the wavy lines, there are outlines of a flat surface on which wine glasses are placed. The colored patterns are visible through the glasses and running over the flat surface. The print is signed and editioned in pencil (l.r.) "Patrick Caulfield AP".
