Moyra's Web JewelsThis set is an artistic rendition (not an exact representation) of West African, and specifically Yoruba, motifs.

The title graphic resembles the Ifa Table, or divination plate. The button and the golden mask on the bar are those of Ifa, the bar is an ancestor staff, bearing ribbons in the colors of the Seven African Powers,whose New World names are Obatala, Eshu/Eleggua, Shango, Yemaya, Oshun, Ogun and Oya/Yansa.

The bird/half moon motif is a reworking of a traditional diviner's cup. The Kente cloth was digitally created - not scanned - and bears the cowrie motif (the diamond) signifing great abundance, and the flying bird, signifying good fortune and our prayers being carried to Olodumare, the Creator, all in the traditional African black, yellow red and green.
