Necklace of white beads

The colour white is associated by the Xhosa with purity and the spiritual (spirit) world. However, the specific placement of the various colours of beads in relation to each other determines the meaning of the entire beadwork. De kleur wit wordt bij de Xhosa geassocieerd met puurheid en de spirituele (geesten) wereld. De specifieke plaatsing van de diverse kleuren kralen ten opzichte van elkaar bepaalt echter de betekenis van het gehele kralenwerk.
