Stake attention in this memory
A vibrantly adorned ceremonial costume, likely an Egungun attire, is displayed upright on a mannequin within a dark-framed glass case. The costume is multi-layered, predominantly gold, green, red, and white, heavily embellished with sequins, beads (white, light green), and possibly cowrie shells. The upper portion features a tall, hooded headpiece with vertical rows of white and light green beads. A red textile pouch with white cross-like embroidery and white fur/feathers is affixed to the chest. The lower part exhibits patterns of stylized animals and stars, bordered by green and gold trim. The mannequin's feet wear red and gold boots. Behind the primary display, a second, darker, and less embellished costume on a mannequin is visible in a separate, dimly lit glass case against a brown wall. To the right, a brightly illuminated long gallery extends, featuring light-colored walls and flooring, adorned with framed artworks depicting dark figures on light backgrounds. Natural light enters through large windows visible higher up on the right wall, augmented by recessed ceiling lights. Two indistinct human figures are present in the distant right background, observing the exhibits. This scene is located within the Museu Afro Brasil, situated in Ibirapuera Park, São Paulo, Brazil.
