content: This photograph of the old saddle made in Ile Onigaari and photographed in Ile Balogun Alanamu shows the girth (majayi--a Hausa term), which is made of coconut fiber covered with cloth, apparently two strips of ẹtu ("guineafowl cloth"), a type of cloth that was woven in the area around Ile Onigaari.
