- Description
- The tie belonging to an individual features a distinctive necklace that holds a long, flat tie, intricately etched with a fascinating geometric design. The base colour of the tie is a deep navy blue, which serves as a striking backdrop for the elegant white design that adorns it. This combination of colours hints at a style often associated with elderly gentlemen, reflecting a sense of tradition and maturity. The flat tie is beautifully complemented by a necklace crafted from navy glass beads, interspersed with delicate white porcelain and vibrant green glass beads, creating a harmonious interplay of textures and colours. The necklace also features white pearl buttons, adding a touch of sophistication. This tie, adorned by the elder statesmen of AbaThembu community in the Qebe location, carries with it a sense of heritage and cultural significance, embodying the refined style of its wearers.
