Finished beaded object on display in Mr Owojori's showroom. Two in the middle are traditional title hats with the title worked in them. This is not the kind wear by the king. It is title holders wear it on occasion, not everyday wear. The far left are beaded shoes. On the far right is container decorated with cowry and glass beads. This type of container is called Ile Ori or Ile Aje, connecting with wealth and prosperity. Olokun, the deity of wealth and prosperity is linked to these two materials (cowry and glass beads)
