| Ndebele Peoples, South Africa. This is a rarer, older beaded apron or "cache sexe"; that term, originally used to describe those of the Kirdi of the Cameroons, has become generic to describe these 'modesty aprons' or 'pubic coverings' or other terms. Made from glass beads sewn onto a leather foundation and measuring approximately 7 1/4" x 7" - 18.5 x 18 cm., exclusive of the stringing, and in overall excellent condition. Interestingly, the 'clasp' or closure to the stringing has been fashioned from a broken button, and the string is unwound to accommodate the insertion of the button - clever! | ||
