    Description

    This is an Old Ndebele Beaded Apron  from South Africa. Different types of Ndebele aprons are made and worn by women to denote their stage of life. Upon marriage and then on special occasions, the woman wears the jocolo, an apron with five finger like panels suggesting the children she will bear. Created by her mother-in-law, the apron was traditionally made of animal skin decorated with a background of small white beads and a colored central design. The Ndebele are known for decorating their homes with geometric wall paintings, and the abstract homestead motif seen here became popular on jocolo around the mid-twentieth century. An amazing item to add to your home or collection.
