The Isiagu Listenⓘ (Leopard head in English), also called Chieftaincy,[1] is a highly prestigious attire that is worn by the Igbo people which signifies power, authority, and pride. It holds a significant cultural and symbolic value for the Igbo people. It is usually worn on special occasions like weddings and coronation ceremonies.[2][3][4] The shirt may be long or short sleeved. Some shirts have gold buttons that are linked by a chain. There is usually a breast pocket on the front. Traditionally, the Isiagu was given to a man when he received a chieftaincy title. The shirt is usually worn with a red hat called Okpu Ozo or the Igbo leopard cap. The leopard cap is known as Okpu Agu in the Igbo language.[5]
