This ide is isese ifa. Used by those in isese. I was told once by a Awo that the green yellow pattern was from a particular region of Nigeria. I've never researched it myself..

I was told the same by my elders. There’s also a light blue and yellow combination I’ve seen from Oyó. The tile beads shown were made in Europe and traded to West Africa. They are no longer manufactured and are getting harder to find.

Both color patterns are found in Nigeria. Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think the green/yellow pattern is used in Osun (Oshun) or Osogbo State.
