NOTE: These blanket pieces can be displayed either vertically or horizontally.
From the Ndebele women in South Africa, the 'Nguba,' or Marriage Blanket, was usually made from a Middelburg blanket which was customized with elaborate beadwork by the owner throughout her married life.
It became a spectacular item as the woman continued to add beadwork, and the original blanket may have worn away and been replaced several times. This strip of beadwork adorned such a blanket.
This special piece in our collection predates the 1950's and due to its age, there are some natural wears and tears and missing beads. It is the most beautiful piece and is sold in as-in condition.
Dimensions: 58" length x 4 1/4" width
