Ifa Panel 12

This panel has been vetted as authentic.
This panel and strap are embellished with cowrie shells, jingle bells and fiber board triangles originally covered in red fabric. The strap is made of multiple bead strands. The overall cloth is worn but intact. The fiber board inside the cloth is rigid.
The panels are worn, usually in pairs, in public ceremonies by Ifa priestesses. The measurement is the height of the panel and strap followed by the width of the panel.
