Quote
It is often said that the amount of jewellery worn by the Yoruba is excessive – they are considered gaudy, vulgar, some of their accoutrements belittlingly described as ‘bling’. However, this negative perspective is informed by a lack of understanding of the peculiar sensibility governing Yoruba dress protocols, for example, women’s ties (gele) are always made from highly reflective fabrics, specially woven for the Nigerian market, and tied in elaborate styles to catch and reflect as much light as possible. Whether it be one exquisite statement piece or many layered rows of pearls or coral, the intention and effect are always the same – to catch the sun in order to draw the eye of the onlooker so that ‘they’ can see how ‘blessed’ by the light one is.
