YORUBA, BEADED SASHES, Nigeria
Brightly inventive and meticulously constructed, these modern sashes
are based upon sashes that functioned as symbols of the owner's spiritual
position and were worn in public ceremonies by Ifa priestesses. Although
they have no spiritual use, these pieces are produced by hand in Nigeria
by the Yoruba people.
The original sashes were derived from the sacred beaded sheaths for Oko
iron staffs (see Yoruba Beaded
Sheaths),
Beads and cowrie shells were signs of wealth and status. In addition
to the Yoruba faces with vertical scarification on the cheeks, common themes
include many types of animals and geometric patterns.
