Iyoba Idia Handcrafted Leather Case

This leather pouch by Aso Global can be used as a media case for your tablet or phone or as a clutch bag. There is a loop to attach your own strap or chain.

The front of this case features a print of the iconic image of Iyoba Idia as depicted on one of the original 16th-century ivory masks taken from Benin. The mask is one of the most recognisable African images.

Iyoba Idia was of the Edo people. She was a warrior, protector, and a political and spiritual guide who fought for her son, Osegie, to claim the title of Oba of the Kingdom of Benin (1504 to 1550). Her power and influence were such that she has been referred to as the ‘Hidden Oba'. She represents a timeless example of a great African leader.
