AFRICAN YORUBA BEADED SASH
A stunning African Yoruba beaded sash wall hanger with intricate detail and a variety of color. This beaded sash measures 64'' H x 7.5'' W. A Yoruba beaded sash is a handcrafted, intricately beaded belt-like garment worn by the Yoruba people of Nigeria, primarily by Ifa priestesses, which signifies the wearer's spiritual position and status within the community, often featuring traditional designs like Yoruba faces, animal motifs, and geometric patterns, with beads and cowrie shells symbolizing wealth and status; it is considered a symbol of cultural heritage and is worn during important ceremonies.
