Nigerian Yoruba Beaded Belt

Muhammadou · sold by Shelter Goods · $95.00 · out of stock

This piece is a vintage Yoruba beaded lizard wall hanging from Nigeria, traditionally used as a ceremonial belt or sash in the Ifa religion. Handcrafted by the Yoruba in Nigeria, it showcases detailed glass seed beads and often includes cowrie shell embellishments on a fabric base. Lizards represent mystical strength, and such beaded items were historically designated for kings or diviners to reflect social rank and spiritual health. Once practical ceremonial garments, these pieces are now commonly displayed as decorative art. 3’2”
