Angisa Earrings Handmade from Suriname

The secret language of Surinamese head wraps is revealed in these beautiful earrings. Made from traditional colorful fabric they are replicas of Angisas, the head ties that Creole women in Suriname developed to speak their mind.

From "Meet me on the corner" to "Baka Oto" which means the back of a car, designed when the very first cars were seen in the city of Paramaribo, the Angisa is a cultural phenomenon that reveals the history of Suriname.  

They are all one of a kind. No two are the same. Choose more pairs to get assorted colors.
