This bag shows no age or use and was probably made for the art market.
Used to carry divination objects and tools, the bags are worn in public
ceremonies by Ifa priestesses and used and displayed in their homes. Beads
were signs of wealth and status. The beaded front lifts up to reveal a pouch
on the back panel.
