Seeking the Royal Crowned Crane

35½" x 37½"
 

This is Beatrice who I met during a 2006 trip to East Africa. Here she is wearing a Maasai wedding necklace and has her hair adorned in imitation of  the Kenyan Royal Crowned Cranes.   The Cranes are busy seeking the fish vertebrae beads on this quilt!  They are appliqued from feather-like painted canvas
