Ẹzuzu (fans) were particularly important when it came to the comfort of the Ọba and other high-ranking individuals, such as the Iy’Ọba. In the past, at least two servants were always with the Ọba to fan him, although today the use of fans is more symbolic. Some fans were specially decorated with mirrors and used specifically by Olokun devotees. Fans are usually made from skins, antelope or cow, with embroidered appliqué designs made by the Isekpokin (Roth, 1903, p.123[95]). Highly decorated fans were used by the Ọba and chiefs, and fans made from leopard skin with certain patterns were made only for the Ọba.
