This necklace is a handcrafted Maasai beaded collar. Made by the women of the Twala Tenebo Cultural Manyatta in Kenya, it is a significant piece of traditional artistry. The necklace features a wide, circular band of intricately hand-stitched glass beads that sits around the neck like a collar.
The necklace is created by weaving small, colorful glass beads onto a wire or thread base to form a rigid yet flexible structure. The design is a vibrant patchwork of geometric patterns and different colors, including red, white, yellow, black, green, and blue. A unique shield-like medallion hangs from the center, adding a focal point to the design. The tassels at the bottom of the medallion and along the edges of the collar add movement.
