A WARRI CHIEF


The Itsekiri chiefs ceremonial dress now follows conventions as exacting as those of the Yorubas,Hausas and the Binis,but composed of garments and decorations derived from European sources.
A hat decorated with a long feather,a blazerof European pattern worn over a lappa of brightly coloured patterned cloth,together with a coral bead necklace and walking stick,complete the itsekiri chief's dress.
