# 3879 Tribal African Beaded YORUBA Beadwork Sash " Diviners Belt " , Nigeria

Superb Nigerian Yoruba Royalty Beaded belt Sash, a beautiful example of a diviners belt or kings belt from the Yoruba Tribe of Benin Nigeria. Each color of bead is associated with a different empowering God (Orisha). Triangles are meant to reflect sacred qualities. Animal Figures are symbols of the mystical powers of women. A diviner is one of the very few non royal persons permitted to use solidly beaded materials. These are usually reserved for the Yoruba kings. The Belts are as wonderful as wall hangings and decorative art in your home, as well as complimenting your collection
