Description
- Yoruba beads have essentially been a part of this fashion as these beads adorn our necks, wrists, waists and ankles, it doesn’t come as much of a shock when said that beads were traded for humans during the trans-Atlantic slave era
- Not only for fashion, many of these beads have their importance rooted in our socio-cultural and traditional beliefs, without much ado we will see more about Traditional neck beads (Necklace)
- Yoruba neck beads/necklace popularly called ILEKE are usually pieces of wood, metal and glasses which are usually tied together using a tiny but strong rope and are worn on our necks
- They come in different colours and forms, this colour and form tells us the story behind such beads; if it’s associated to any title or not, their importance, its function and a whole lot of other things
- There are many types of necklace in Yoruba land with each having its function
