Zulu Beadwork: History and Culture

A scholarly site by Hilgard S. Schoeman, which takes one through the History of the Zulu nation and the Tradition of beadwork. The language of beads is explained at length, as are the origins and cultural significance of this craft. You even have the chance to purchase whole collections of these fast-disappearing artefacts. Well-illustrated, although the quality of images could be better. A most interesting and informative site.
