In the past, Zulu girls spent much of their leisure time sitting
together sewing beadwork to give to their lovers. The beadwork was
full of messages, conveyed by the beadwork’s colours, positioning
and motifs. This beadwork object is thought to be an apron or neck
ornament, and was probably made by a Zulu beadworker.
