Product Description
This is a maiden Ndebele beaded doll handcrafted in South Africa by Ndebele woman.
This Maiden Ndebele doll has a apron on the doll that signifies that the young female has undergone puberty rites and can now be married. Colorful beaded hoops around the waist would indicted that she can now engaged to be married.
The maiden doll adorns the same gold rings around her neck as the other Ndebele dolls but does not have the blanket that the Initiation dolls have.
All Ndebele dolls are handcrafted so patterns , colors and sizes will vary slightly from one doll to the next.
I’ve never seen a doll in where what she wears actually signifies something. Now I know how Africans value their art. Furthermore, this doll hold much creativity. Well done!
