The history of adornment begins more than 100,000 years ago in Africa. As Homo sapiens populated the Earth, body ornaments appeared everywhere.
The first materials were organic – primarily shells and animal teeth, traces of which can be found throughout the world. Moreover, across all societies, beyond cultural differences, universal traits can be observed in the forms, patterns, arrangements, and symbolic values of decorative objects.
For Marina Yaguello, a linguist and collector, these universals are comparable to those that, despite the diversity of languages spoken on Earth, form the basis of the uniqueness of human language. She illustrates this approach with objects from her collection, along with pieces selected from museums.
