The exhibition presents a collection of 22 historical crioula jewels, crafted with the emblematic materials of 19th-century Bahian goldsmithing, gold, coral, horn, ivory, and precious stones, from the prestigious collection of Emmanoel Araújo. These masterpieces were worn by freed Black women, known as crioulas, who had sometimes acquired their liberty through trade or domestic work. Ostentatious, precious, and imbued with Afro-Brazilian symbolism, the adornments constituted an act of visibility and social affirmation within a society deeply marked by racial hierarchy. They expressed not only economic achievement but also a claim to dignity. Some pieces maintained a close connection to Candomblé rituals and the representation of the orixás, underscoring the central role of Black women in the transmission of spiritual knowledge. Today, these jewels, true living archives, are recognized as intangible heritage of Brazilian culture. They embody a collective memory inseparable from the struggle against slavery and from the Afro-Brazilian contribution to the shaping of national identity.
