- Title
- Isidanga
- Description
- The intricate necklace consists of 24 strands of delicate light turquoise beads held in place by black beads. Traditionally, it is worn as a shoulder strap by married men from isiXhosa-speaking subcultural groups like abaThembu, amaGcaleka, and amaMpondomise. It's worth noting that the amaMpondo cultural group does not traditionally incorporate this style of necklace.
