Notes | This choker of four connected bead-wrapped rolls is typical of a style of beadwork decoration fashionable among the Zulu (Northern Nguni) people in the late nineteenth century. A wide range of beadwork accessories was produced by the Zulu people. Bead colours served to identify one tribal group from another, and often had symbolic meaning. | |
