The agbádá or dàńdógó is a garment that symbolizes wealth and social importance in Yorùbá society. The egúngún is a Yorùbá masquerade dance costume. The egúngún featured in One: Egúngún has pieces of at least two agbádá in it, appropriate for a mask that uses rich textiles to honor ancestors. In Yorùbá culture, clothing is connected to identity and community. The agbádá is worn with a matching embroidered top, trousers, and cap. The thread is dipped into indigo dye before weaving.
