Beaded Work In Ile-Ife (Geography & Economy)

This is a picture of what beaded work would look like in Ile-Ife. The color red represents hot and blue and black represent cold. We made a series of necklaces and bracelets to show you a glimpse of what kind of beadwork men and women would produce and then sell at the market. The beadwork was expensive and powerful, so only special people such as the political and religious leaders could wear it.
