The Maasai are the local tribe of Nairobi, Kenya. With the until-recent lack of rains in Maasai-land, it was not unusual to see a Maasai herding his cows and goats through the city. This parade of cattle can cause quite a traffic snarl. When asked why he is tying-up the traffic, he responded by asking, "Is this not my land?"

Not only an incredibly proud people, the Maasai are also highly skilled at adorning themselves with intricately beaded items from head to toe.

The Wedding necklace is an example of this skill. While the sizes vary greatly, a necklace of this size takes up to a month to make as each bead is individually fastened onto a piece of animal hide.

Such a beaded collar is an example of a so-called wedding necklace. Such necklaces come in various sizes. The ones worn by young girls ready to get married are smaller. Beads are added after the marriage to made the necklace more majestic. For more aesthetic effects such necklaces are worn lying on the chest in a set of three or more. Necklaces of this kind are identified as everyday adornment for married women. The number of rows worn is an indication of wealth.

Necklaces of this kind could take a month to be finished. The background is made of cowhide. The rows of beads are attached to the cowhide with wire (iron). It is interesting to notice how the colors of the beads in each row are alternated to create wonderful visual effect. Coins, cowrie shells, and other decorative materials add to the beauty of each piece and testify that such items are made by skilled artists.
