Two circular faces, one with a green background and the other blue, are at the top of the bag’s beaded flap. They represent the god(s) to whom a diviner must appeal in order to assist a supplicant seeking aid and advice. Geometrical patterns in the center add an energetic interplay of color and shape, a reminder of the energy manifested by the gods. Two chameleons are at the bottom between oval holes lined in yellow. The chameleon is symbolic of transformation and adaptability, qualities a diviner/priest must possess. Such individuals are regarded with such esteem they are permitted to use beaded objects, a privilege usually reserved for Yoruba kings. The diviner’s bag (apo ifa) is used to hold a divining chain (opele ifa) and palm nuts, essential elements in the diviner’s trade.
