African Yoruba Diviner's Beaded Wall Hanging Panel Sash 1950
About the Item
African Yoruba Diviner's Beaded Wall Hanging Panel Sash 1950.
This extraordinary beaded wall hanging is a stunning example of Yoruba craftsmanship, dating to the mid-20th century. Created by skilled artisans in Nigeria, the piece features intricate beadwork that forms a striking geometric design with stylized birds, crafted from glass seed beads and trade beads.
A symbol of spiritual authority, this beaded panel was traditionally owned and displayed by diviners (known as babalawos), who were revered for their ability to communicate with the gods. In Yoruba culture, only those with direct access to the spiritual realm, such as diviners and rulers, were entitled to possess such sacred objects. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns represent the depth of spiritual knowledge and wisdom associated with these practitioners.
This panel was likely used by a babalawo during divination sessions, a practice that involved mediating between the physical and spiritual worlds. The rich symbolism embedded in the beads and their arrangement reflects the complex spiritual roles of the Yoruba diviner.
With its remarkable craftsmanship and powerful cultural significance, this beaded train makes an exceptional statement piece as a Tribal Art wall hanging. The piece is long, heavy, and showcases the vibrant artistry and profound spiritual meaning of the Yoruba people.
