These striking colorful collars are worn
by married women. Their colors &
patterns represent clan affiliations
though “the Maasai say that blue beads
represent ‘God’, as they are the color
of the sky he inhabits and green beads
are ‘vegetation after rainfall’ the symbol
of peace” - Africa Adorned, Fisher &
Beckwith (1984)
