Necklace of yellow beads

The colour yellow is associated with fertility among the Xhosa. However, the specific placement of the various colours of beads in relation to each other determines the meaning of the entire beadwork. De kleur geel wordt bij de Xhosa geassocieerd met vruchtbaarheid. De specifieke plaatsing van de diverse kleuren kralen ten opzichte van elkaar bepaalt echter de betekenis van het gehele kralenwerk.
