Aso Olona

Aso Olona is a traditional Yoruba textile known for its intricate geometric patterns and cultural significance, particularly among the Ijebu subgroup.

Also, Aso Olona is used for Iro ati Buba, a combination of a loose-fitting blouse and a large wrapper.

It's also paired with accessories like Gele (head-tie), Ipele (shawl), and adorned with beads and jewelry that hold cultural significance.

The cloth is also worn by chiefs, priests, and members of the society on special occasions, such as ceremonies, festivals, and rituals.

[12] In modern times, Aso Olona continues to inspire designers and is used in various creative ways, from traditional clothing to contemporary fashion pieces, home decor, and even in art installations.
