YORUBA
Ifa Panel 1
29" high x 10" wide
$800

 

This panel has been vetted as authentic with signs of use and age.

Despite the tattered and frayed cloth, the beadwork on this panel is in excellent condition, with no bead loss. The design is free-flowing, with flame-like shapes outlined with fire red beads. There is an obvious loss of most of the fabric strips that hung off the bottom.

The panels are worn, usually in pairs ( 1 and 2 are a pair ), in public ceremonies by Ifa priestesses. The measurement is the height of the panel and strap followed by the width of the panel.
