Mid-20th Century Tribal Leather Beaded Ceremonial Apron Mounted in Acrylic Box
In general, the intricately beaded beaded aprons are typically made and worn by women for ceremonial occasions.
Rare, vintage and one of a kind, these unique decorative aprons have various purposes - some are given to a would-be wife, who then embroiders. Others are made by mothers and given to unwed daughters who have gone through initiation rites in the tribe. These beaded and embroidered pieces look stunning as wall hangings in the modern home.
. The beautiful and rich geometric shapes are quintessential examples of this tribe's designs, echoed in the decorative patterns painted on the exterior walls of their homes.
