  • This is interesting, Cordelia. Is it an apron?

  • Hi Thelma these are South East African beads seen here worn. Im not sure if they are Zulu or not, but they are very rare to find them so old, they are like little flags, they have a purely decorative function, it seems as if you should wear as many as you can. Found in London.
