- Ipasi-lentloko
- Description
- The headband is meticulously crafted from flat white bead strips, elegantly adorned with delicate blue lines that trace their way across its surface. This stunning piece is further enhanced by a vibrant fringe of chevrons, sporting a palette of striking blue, green, and red hues, all interspersed with intricately arranged white and black beads. At the centre of the forehead, three lustrous pearl buttons are tastefully positioned, adding a touch of sophistication and charm. This beautiful headband is traditionally worn by both middle and adult-aged male and female members of the Nxaxo community in Centani, serving as a symbol of cultural identity and artistic expression.
