Hip pendant of elephant ivory, U-shaped, carved in relief depicting an Oba (King) flanked by two attendants who support him at the elbows in a characteristic pose, the royal triad wear official regalia of deep coral neckbands and patterned kilts, with mudfish below, which refer to the Oba's dual identity as Olokun the water god.
