Masai Jewelry - Beadwork

If you travel to Kenya or Tanzania sooner or later you will have a chance to buy Masai jewelry.  
For ordinary tourist colorful bead work represents no more than lovely decoration, but the fact is Masai jewelry has hidden meanings that tells a lot about the person who is wearing it like social and marital status for example.

Photos below were captured in Masai boma in Ngorongoro during our safari to Tanzania. Welcome to world of beads!
