Zulu Beaded Belt South Africa Dori Collection Zulu beaded belts are traditional accessories worn by the Zulu people of South Africa, showcasing their expertise in beadwork. Handcrafted using a weaving technique, these belts incorporate brightly colored beads in symbolic patterns representing aspects of Zulu culture. Worn during special occasions like weddings and funerals, Zulu beaded belts are not only part of traditional Zulu dress but also popular fashion accessories. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, these belts hold cultural significance, reflecting the skilled artistry involved in their creation. Historically valued as currency and a marker of identity, Zulu beadwork, controlled by figures like Disingwayo and Shaka, became a status symbol and a form of personal expression. Stylistic variations indicate group affiliation and beadwork now serves as a symbol of political identity, with colors and patterns reflecting political affiliations. Wearing beadwork is increasingly viewed as a way to reclaim cultural identity, extending beyond conservative members to embrace broader expressions of tradition. Provenance: Dori Angus-Verhoog Collection These are from the collection of Dori Angus Verhoeg from Mababane, Eswatini. Dori was a beloved friend of ours. We met her in 1994 when we lived in Southern Africa, driving around with our three youngest children in a used camper van. We met Dori at the wonderful gallery she ran, Indiglizi. She died several years ago, and her children, Anthony and Sonia Angus made her collection available to us when they closed the gallery in 2020 due to COVID-19. 137471
