A beautiful hand-beaded leather hide known as a jocolo or bride apron, with 5 petal shaped panels along the lower edge and an attached band of open work beading. The entire surface is covered with thousands of lane stitched beads in white with blue, red, yellow, green, orange, black, and pink accents in squares and triangular shapes - the central horizontal blue and yellow bars with vertical sides represent a house. The upper edge is bare and folded over, the hem secured with additional beading. The Ndebele are known for their exquisite beadwork that they adorned themselves in.
