African Zulu beaded earrings
Size: from 4cm (L)
A selection of African Beaded Earrings that have been crafted by Zulu tribal woman of South Africa. The beaded earrings are crafted in various colors and patterns seen in traditional Zulu life.
Beadwork is a tradition that the Zulu people are well known for and are known as some of the best beaders in the world. Historically beads have been a part of the Zulu people dating back many years and the more colourful the beads the better. Traditionally done by Zulu woman, the skill of beadwork has been past on to some men who use the beads in some of their carvings and weapons.
Each beaded earring is an "original" work of art, individually handcrafted, no two are exactly alike which adds to the value of African beadwork . The original nature of tribal art will be reflected by variances from the beaded earrings as shown, each piece of a specific style is similar, but not identical.
