Bunmi Osias (left) and Jumoke Osias (right) wearing blue bubus made from cotton cloth. Jumoke dons a gele and iborun (shawl), which are made from aso oke. Bunmi wears the gele as a iborun because there is too much fabric for her to use it as a headwrap. The shawl along with the collar and skirt of the bubu are embroidered with a white design of circles and lines. Photograph provided from personal collection.
