Blog 5: DMA Visit - African Headwear beyond Fashion: Head-tie

I was drawn to this piece of the exhibit because I've actually seen people wear this type of headdress and was interested in how it's worn.  Here's an interesting video from youtube on how it's worn:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-dofe7eAMs&feature=related

The headdress displayed in the exhibit comes from Nigeria, from the Yoruba peoples.
