- Description: The resplendent earrings of youth are an eye-catching adornment. They feature a beautifully crafted face mask, where delicate bead chains are intricately attached to two ornate brass circlets. These circlets are lavishly embellished with colourful bead strips, adorned further with glimmering pearl buttons and fluffy pink wool pompoms. In a unique design, the silver wire forming the circles is skilfully cut, allowing it to gracefully pass through the pierced ears. The cascading bead chains elegantly drape under the chin, framing the nose and accentuating the eyes. A clever loop is hooked over a button, known as the "Ichele" bead band, giving the whole ensemble a distinctive flair. This striking attire is typically worn by youths during the vibrant celebration of "Umtshotsho," symbolising both tradition and exuberance. , Purchased from Mrs Joan Broster , Forms part of: Walter Sisulu University Beadwork Collection
